Ace Afrobeats singer, Damini Ogulu better known as Burna Boy has claimed that Nigeria was created to meet Britain’s needs.
He also described the citizens of the country as ‘collateral damage’ following its current state.
Speaking during his recent interview with Tidal, the ‘On The Low’ crooner labelled Nigeria a “Royal Niger company” for the British.
In the now trending video on social media, Burna Boy emphasized that Nigerians are suffering from the consequences of poor governance and external influences.
Sharing his thoughts about why Nigeria is facing the current socio-political and economic crisis, he argued that the country was never meant to exist.
Burna Boy said, “We were not even supposed to be Nigerians in the first place. We are the Royal Niger company. So, we are basically a company for the British to take resources and go for Britain.
“Then somewhere along the line, the company decided to buy the whole place and amalgamate it.
“So at the end of the day, the people that sell the place and the people that buy the place to them are the winners. While the rest of the people are collateral damage.”
