Burna Boy Calls Nigeria “Collateral Damage” in Recent Interview

Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has described Nigeria as “collateral damage” in a recent interview with Tidal. He emphasized that the country’s current state is a result of poor governance and external influences.

Burna Boy explained that Nigeria was never meant to exist, stating that it was initially a company, the Royal Niger Company, established by the British to exploit resources. He noted that the country’s amalgamation was a result of the company’s decision to buy and control the territory, leaving the people as “collateral damage.”

The singer’s comments have sparked a conversation about Nigeria’s history and its ongoing struggles.
