WHY NIGERIA NEVER HOSTED AFRONATION – Co-founder Spills

Started in 2019, Portugal, Ghana, and Puerto Rico have hosted different versions of the festival.

Why we created Afro Nation?

“The reason why we created Afro Nation was to unify and bring everybody and celebrate everyone. Celebrate the culture, showcase our talents, our different talents. Make the mainstream respect us Africans and make us superstars.”

Why is Lagos not hosting?

“I am an African ambassador. I might be Nigerian by birth but I’m African. We have been doing this thing for so long, why have they not supported what we have been doing? Why have they not seen that there’s a need for them to support?”

“I did 14 shows last year, no one from Lagos State Tourism reached out to me, encouraged me, try to say okay, how can we help you. Before I created Afronation with my partner, we went to different countries and we choose Ghana because of the experience we had in Ghana.”

“So if the government is ready to work with us, we can do something in Nigeria but for now, we’re working with the Ghanaian government.”
