Popular Afrobeats star and Grammy Award winner, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has described Nigeria and Nigerians using the current economic situation.

The singer, who is known for being vocal about Nigeria and its ills, has now described Nigeria as a country controlled and owned by the British.

Burna Boy made this declaration during his recent interview with Tidal, where he labelled Nigeria as a country which is facing the brunt of external control and bad leadership.

Burna Boy stressed that there was never meant to be a country like Nigeria or a people like Nigerians. He described Nigeria as the Royal Niger company, who is being used and controlled by the British for resources.

In the now trending video, 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."
