Before their MOBO Awards win, Wizkid and Davido were already the current most celebrated artists on the African continent. But their double victories at the 2018 MOBOs in the Best African Act, and Best International Act categories took it to another level.Of course, the fans made a meal of it, tweeting and singing praises all day long. The news carried it like wildfire, and everyone celebrated. Wizkid’s win, in particular, was a big deal. It was the first time an African had bagged the trophy for Best International Act. He beat Drake (his collaborator), Cardi B, Hip-hop heavyweight JAY-Z and Kendrick Lamar to the trophy.And then came our politicians. With the 2019 general elections on the radar, Nigerian politicians and government officials are on high alert right now. Like dogs on heat, they are chasing their next political points, which would enable them to ingratiate themselves with the public and ensure that they come through with enough votes to retain power.
