The Joromi crooner, however, said she wished Nigeria were a better country, adding that if the country were working, citizens wouldn’t be migrating en masse.
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.”
