Nigerians react to Burna Boy’s “Backward unprogressive fools” statement

Burna Boy is being lashed, slammed and blasted on social media after he called Nigerians “backward unprogressive fool”.  The story all started when he called out Coachella for undermining his worth by not making his name bold. He also called himself a giant of African and there was both a negative and positive reaction to this. Unseeing this, he explained what he meant saying it came from his vision of African future. Another mixed reaction was generated by Nigerians and it didn’t sit well with the singer.

Burna boy then made a recent post that said Nigerians are not mentally advanced. This statement was the straw that broke the camels back and people are all out for him. Below are some reactions from people:

Okay, Now it’s beginning to seem like Burna boy just wants to trend. Because saying “Nigeria is the home to the largest number of backward unprogressive fools” was a really unnecessary thing for him to have said.

Burna Boy just called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools & some people are angry, in a country where many people are doing everything for Buhari to be president for another 4 yrs, if that’s not a country with many backward unprogressive fools, I don’t know what it is.

This advanced Daddy showkey a.k.a Burna Boy just called Nigerians “Backward Unprogressive FOOLS” for calling him out over allowing Font size to define him as African Giant.

He is right but the reason behind the branding of Nigerians is extremely wrong and displays his STUPIDITY

Burna Boy called some Nigerians backward unprogressive fools but there really is an element of truth to it.

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.
