Award-winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known in showbiz as Davido, has revealed that carrying a blue passport has made traveling overseas easier for him.
In a recent interview with Omega, the assurance hitmaker said when some of his band members are having difficulties with Visa approval, he always has an edge because of his American passport.
According to Davido, the American passport was worth more than a million dollars however, he expressed pride in his Nigerian nationality.
“That part of my life [being born abroad] didn’t come out until I blew up. People thought I live in Nigeria. It was later on in my career that people realised that I did Alabama college and stuff like that.
“It wasn’t like I was introduced as an American artist in Nigeria. I’ve been in the streets back home. The only thing is that I could fly anytime I wanted, like go to America anytime I wanted.
“Till date, I don’t care how much money you’ve got, that blue passport is worth more than a million Dollars.
“For example, we were going to Australia for a tour, to get the structure is so hard because some of my band members were having difficulties in getting the papers just because of their passports.
“But obviously, it’s kind of easier for me because of the blue passport,” he said.
