Nigeria is home to backward unprogressive fools - Burna Boy says after getting trolled by Nigerians

Recently, Legit.ng reported that singers Mr Eazi and Burna Boy were selected as choice musicians to participate in one of the world's biggest music event Coachella. After the news broke, it was also said that Damini Ogulu who is known as Burna Boy took to Instagram to call out the organisers of the program.

According to him, he did not like that his name was spelt out in small font. He demanded that Coachella make a correction to the way they wrote his stage name. In his address to the organisers of the music festival which is to start in April, the Gbona crooner called himself an African giant.

This statement sparked a lot of controversy amongst Nigerians who interpreted it to mean that he was proud and rude. It would appear that Burna Boy who was largely trolled by many did not take the insults very lightly.

He took it to heart or why else would the phenomenal Nigerian singer take to his page to call out many Nigerians and tag them as "backward, unprogressive fools"?

Burna Boy had a lot to say to Nigerians on his Insta story. After saying that they were backward and unprogressive, he also went on to say that the nation was full of people who were not mentally advanced.

According to him, regardless of their deficiencies, he intended to love them and fight for them. Burna Boy, however, had one or two things to say about Nigerian youths who 'key into his vision'.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
