Simi Admits That If Nigeria Is Ok No One Would Want To Leave

Afrobeats singer Simisola Kosoko popularly known as Simi has declared profound pride in being Nigerian, stating how it is impossible for non-Nigerians to replicate the culture.

In a recent appearance on the ‘90s Baby Show’, the “Joromi” hitmaker stated: “My favourite thing about Nigeria is just the spirit of Nigerians. You can’t replicate it. Nobody else can be a Nigerian other than a Nigerian.”

She observed that Hollywood’s portrayals of African accents typically imitate East or South African dialects, rarely attempting a Nigerian one.

“Even when they are faking African accents in Hollywood movies, they never actually fake a Nigerian accent.

“They always fake East Africa and South African accents. Being a Nigerian doesn’t just come as naturally, it just feels like home.

“That is why I wish the country was better. Because I feel like no one would want to leave,” she added.
