Nigerian Singer Burna Boy Describes Country as “Collateral Damage” Due to Poor Governance and External Influences

In a recent interview with Tidal, Nigerian singer Burna Boy shared his thoughts on the current state of his home country, describing it as “collateral damage” due to poor governance and external influences.

According to Burna Boy, Nigeria was never meant to exist as an independent nation. Instead, he believes that the country was formed as a “Royal Niger company” for the British, with the sole purpose of extracting resources and enriching Britain.

In the trending video, Burna Boy emphasized that Nigerians are suffering from the consequences of poor governance and external influences. He stated that the people who sold the land to the British and those who bought it are the winners, while the rest of the population is left as collateral damage.

The singer’s comments come at a time when Nigeria is facing numerous challenges, including economic instability, corruption, and political unrest. Many Nigerians have been vocal about their dissatisfaction with the government and the country’s leadership.

Burna Boy’s candid remarks have sparked a heated debate on social media, with some people agreeing with his assessment and others defending the country and its leaders. Regardless of one’s perspective, it is clear that Nigeria is facing a crisis that requires urgent attention and action.
