Superstar singer Davido is in full celebration mode, and this time it’s not about music, awards or sold-out shows. The Afrobeats sensation is proudly rejoicing over a monumental achievement by his father, Dr Adedeji Adeleke, who just completed a staggering $2 billion gas-fired power plant in Ajebamidele, Ondo State. The moment is so big, Davido took to his Instagram story and posted just six words that say it all: “Na now my life wan begin.”
For many who only know Davido as the flashy, hit-making celebrity, this is a strong reminder that his family sits among the most powerful business figures in Nigeria. His father is not just a billionaire businessman but the founder and driving force behind Pacific Energy, a major player in the power generation sector. And now, with this new 1250 megawatt power plant ready and waiting for activation, the Adeleke name is about to change the game in Nigeria’s energy industry.
The Ondo power plant, one of the most ambitious private energy projects in the country, is completed and only waiting to be connected to the national gas grid before it can begin delivering electricity. It is expected to create over 2000 jobs and drastically improve power supply in the region. Beyond that, it positions Pacific Energy to surpass competitors like Geregu and Transcorp, making it one of the top independent power producers in the country.
This isn’t just about business. It’s about legacy. It’s about a father securing a future so solid that even his superstar son sees it as the true beginning of his life. Davido has often spoken fondly of his father's hard work, discipline and quiet philanthropy. But this time, the pride is unmistakable and global. A power plant worth billions doesn’t just power homes and factories, it sends a powerful message: the Adeleke family is building more than music and money—they are building national infrastructure.
While fans are used to seeing Davido in the headlines for sold-out concerts, luxury jewelry, and private jets, this moment shows a deeper, more grounded side of the artist. His response wasn’t loud or flashy. It was honest, humble and packed with gratitude. "Na now my life wan begin" might sound playful to some, but it echoes something many Nigerians can relate to—the hope of generational wealth and breakthrough.
What makes this story even more inspiring is that it comes at a time when Nigeria desperately needs stable electricity. Billions of naira have been lost over the years due to poor power supply. This project, if fully operational, could help ease some of that burden and change thousands of lives across the Southwest and beyond. It also sends a message to other wealthy Nigerians about the kind of impact that comes from investing in infrastructure rather than importing luxury goods.
Critics may say Davido was born into privilege, but no one can deny the hustle he’s put into becoming a global music icon. And now, with a father who is reshaping the power sector, it’s clear that the Adeleke family isn't slowing down. From the stage to the boardroom to national development, their influence is becoming undeniable.
As the plant awaits final connection to the national grid, all eyes will be on Ondo State. The moment those turbines start turning and lights begin to glow across communities, it won’t just be a technical achievement. It will be proof that when wealth meets vision and action, real change is possible.
Davido’s statement may have sounded like a joke to some. But for those who understand the magnitude of this milestone, it's a declaration of a new era. For him. For his family. And perhaps, for Nigeria.
