The Afrobeats artist Simisola Kosoko, better known by her stage name as Simi, has taken pleasure in her Nigerian heritage, saying that she adores Nigeria’s distinct essence, which she feels is impossible for outsiders to imitate.
However, the Joromi crooner expressed her hope that Nigeria were a better nation, saying that if it were, people wouldn’t be fleeing in large numbers.
Speaking in a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, Simi said, “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. 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.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
