Akon, a Senegalese singer, has acknowledged that Nigerians are the world’s smartest people.
Akon stated this on a programme hosted by NORE and DJ EFN. According to Akon, Nigeria is the country that produces the most millionaires globally.
The “Go Africa” singer said that “This could be debatable, but the Nigerians are the smartest people on the planet. I promise you, there is nobody smarter than a Nigerian.”
He nevertheless agrees that Nigerians are intelligent and wonderful people, but that the “bad Apples” are the ones who are portraying the nation in a negative light.
Of course, a few nasty apples came out, Akon stated. The wicked guys are quite intelligent. However, they misapplied their intelligence.
“If they were to gear that towards something more positive or productive… Because the ones that did, there are more billionaires being made in Nigeria than anywhere in the world,” the Senegalese singer said.
Akon is well renowned for his adoration and love of all things African, and he has never failed to show this at every possible chance.
