Award-winning Afrobeats singer Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has expressed pride in being Nigerian, describing the spirit of the country’s citizens as unique and unmatched anywhere in the world.
Speaking on a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, the Joromi crooner said her favourite thing about Nigeria is the resilience and vibrant energy of its people a quality she believes cannot be replicated by foreigners.
“My favourite thing about Nigeria is just the spirit of Nigerians. You can’t replicate it,” she said. “Nobody else can be a Nigerian other than a Nigerian. Even when they are faking African accents in Hollywood movies, they never actually fake a Nigerian accent. They always fake East African or South African accents.”
Simi added that the essence of being Nigerian comes naturally, describing it as a feeling of belonging and home. However, she expressed sadness over the state of the country, noting that many citizens would not be leaving in large numbers if things were better.
“Being a Nigerian just feels like home,” she continued. “That’s why I wish the country was better — because I feel like no one would want to leave.”
