Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido delivered a night to remember in Yola as part of his ongoing 5ive Alive Tour, with thousands of fans gathering at Mahmud Ribadu Square on October 29, 2025, for an electrifying live show that blended music, energy, and emotion.
The concert, which marked the second stop on the Nigerian leg of his tour, turned the heart of Adamawa State into a sea of lights and cheers as Davido performed hit after hit, from his global smashes 10 Kilo, Blow My Mind, Anything, Unavailable and Feel to timeless favourites like Dami Duro, Skelewu, FIA, and Risky. Backed by a full live band and a vibrant stage setup, the show matched the energy and production quality of his recent U.S. tour.
One of the standout moments came when Davido invited a fan from the crowd to join him on stage for a duet of With You. The heartfelt exchange drew loud cheers and flashing lights from the packed audience, reflecting the artist’s deep connection with his fans.
Earlier in the day, Davido had paid a courtesy visit to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at the Government House in Yola, where he revealed why he chose Adamawa as one of his tour locations. The singer praised the state’s peace, security, and readiness to host world-class events, saying, “While we were coming to Africa, we were looking for a place in Nigeria that could handle us production-wise and security-wise, and Adamawa came out on top.”
