Global superstar, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy says Nigeria as a country was never meant to exist.
Burna, during an interview on Tidal on Friday, described Nigeria as “nothing but the result of a bad business enterprise entered into by the British.”
He said “the area called Nigeria was first known as the Niger Area before the Royal Niger Company acquired it.
“After it was acquired, the Royal Niger Company decided to amalgamate the North and South as against running them as separate entities, and it was at this point that the country Nigeria was birthed.
“when the amalgamation was going to happen, the Niger Company and the British who sold Nigeria didn’t take into consideration those living in the region.
“The two entities that sold and bought the Niger Area, the people living there were but collateral damage.
