Nigerians Are The “ Smartest People” In The World- Akon by farem: 12:23pm On Jul 19, 2023 |
Senegalese-American singer, Akon says Nigerians are the “smartest people” in the world. In a recent interview on the Drink Champs podcast, the music executive described Nigerians as “extremely talented people”. The 50-year-old Senegalese also said “more billionaires are being made in Nigeria” than in any other country. “Nigeria is compared to New York City. This could be debatable but Nigerians are the smartest people on the planet,” he said. “I promise you, there is nobody smarter than a Nigerian. Now of course there are a few bad apples that came out but they are extremely smart. “They just put their intelligence into the wrong place. “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.” Akon, known for songs like ‘Locked Up’, ‘Lonely’ and ‘Oh Africa’, had previously announced his plans to build a futuristic “100 percent crypto-based city” on 2,000 acres of land. He is among globally acclaimed artistes who appear to be reconnecting with their African roots. In 2019, the singer used Wizkid, Davido, and P-Square as case studies, when stating that contracts don’t exist in Africa, especially Nigeria. In 2022, Akon described Davido as the “hardest working artiste”. https://tribuneonlineng.com/nigerians-smartest-people-in-the-world-akon/#:~:text=Senegalese%2DAmerican%20singer%2C%20Akon%20says,than%20in%20any%20other%20country. |

Notionally, yes; literally, no. He should stop mistaking perfidy for smartness. |
Re: Nigerians Are The “ Smartest People” In The World- Akon by farem: 6:49pm On Jul 19, 2023 |
RightToReject: Try and read with a clear and open mind. He has addressed your concern, smartly, in his statement: “I promise you, there is nobody smarter than a Nigerian. Now of course there are a few bad apples that came out but they are extremely smart... " |

farem: Stop prattling like a typical bumpkin. His alleged statement in bold did not capture and address my concern. Only bumpkins like both of you will literally ascribe "the smartest people in this world" to Nigerians. Are some Nigerians smart, yes; are most Nigerians smart, no. When next the both of you want to talk and look for who to ascribe the smartest, not perfidious, people in the world, give it to the Japanese, Singaporeans, Germans, Chinese, Liechtensteiners, South Koreans, etc. Now, scram and direct your further mention(s) to your fellow bumpkins. 1 Like |

RightToReject: May I ask you what your concerns are or you think it is the unproductive usage of English words that does it? It's amusing how you think you have mixed with the peoples you're mentioning than Akon himself. Can you tell us your first hand experience with each of these nationals other than these meaningless verbosity? |
