Speaking in a recent episode of the 90s Baby Show, Simi said, “My favourite thing about Nigeria is just the spirit of Nigerians. You can’t replicate it.
“Nobody else can be a Nigerian other than a Nigerian. Even when they are faking African accents in Hollywood movies, they never actually fake a Nigerian accent.
“They always fake East African and South African accents. Being a Nigerian doesn’t just come naturally; it just feels like home.
“That is why I wish the country were better. Because I feel like no one would want to leave.”
