Famous Senegalese-American singer Akon is trending across the Nigerian social media space after his recent interview with ace podcaster Big Boi went public.
During the interview, the hip-hop singer declared that Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world.
However, he noted that this might be debatable, and he stands to be corrected.
Akon also said there might be some bad apples in the country ruining the image of Nigeria by committing different crimes, but that still doesn’t change the fact that Nigerians are brilliant people.
The Lonely Singer added that nowhere in the world can currently match Nigerians at the rate they have been churning out billionaires recently.
He expressed that even the bad apples are usually brilliant people who have just chosen to direct their intellect towards the wrong channels.
