Oloforo, the Nigerian singer, Olawale popularly known as Brymo, has shared his thoughts about the state of the country, describing Nigeria as a geographical space without a defined social identity.
The singer took to his Instagram page where he expressed concerns about how the country was formed and how it continues to function. According to him, Nigeria as a nation does not have a clear personality of its own, stressing that its origin was a creation of the British colonial government.
Brymo explained that the British gave the people the name “Nigerians” without any deliberate effort to create a unified identity for them. He noted that the absence of a sociable identity is one of the major issues affecting the country’s progress.

He wrote, “Nigeria is clearly a geographical space with no sociable personality of her own, and the people (by the happenstance of the British who named us) are called Nigerians. I am publishing this to remind us all that the country may never have a conscious reason to help herself.”
The singer further pointed out that the country’s future depends heavily on the personal choices of its citizens. He stated that progress and development will not come naturally to Nigeria unless individuals take deliberate steps to build a better society.
Brymo emphasised that citizens must begin to take personal responsibility, as the quality of individual decisions will determine the overall outcome of the nation.
In his words, “The quality of the choices we settle for individually culminates in the outcome we all live in the aftermath.”
He also stressed that Nigeria may never naturally develop a strong drive for self-improvement, adding that collective growth will only be possible if individuals consistently make meaningful contributions to the nation’s development.
Brymo, known for his outspoken views on social and political issues, has in the past shared similar messages urging Nigerians to look inward and take charge of the country’s future rather than depending solely on leadership or government structures.
