Popular singer Simisola Kosoko aka Simi has taken to her page on Twitter to rant about Nigeria and what citizens of the country have to go through.
According to the Joromi crooner, many in this part of the world have become so used to suffering that they now see it as being normal.
Simi pointed out the fact that people have to be willing to part with their money as a form of a bribe in other to get what they truly deserve.
According to her, the act of bribe-giving has indeed become a means of survival in the country.
“Nigerians are so used to suffering now that they think it's normal. If you don't have money to 'give someone' to get what you actually deserve, there's almost no chance for progress. Bribe is not even bribe, it's just survival.”In a different tweet, the singer pointed out how citizens are expected to pay a bribe in places like hospitals, airports, tertiary institutions among others.
Still speaking on the matter, Simi submitted that there is a lot of potential for growth in the country.
She, however, noted her reservation against Westerners who see Africans as malnourished individuals who need saving.
Simi’s post garnered mixed reactions from her Twitter followers.

When you think about Nigeria, you get mad. So much potential for growth. I hate it when ignorant people think of Africa and believe we're all malnourished children that need saving from the West or that we're all like Tarzan. But the ball is in our court. Always has been.
