Simisola Kosoko, the Afrobeats star, who is better known as Simi, has expressed pride in her Nigerian identity, noting that what she loves most about the country is the unique spirit of its people — something she believes cannot be replicated by foreigners.

The Joromi crooner, however, said she wished Nigeria was a better country, adding that if the country was working citizens won’t be migrating en-masse.

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.

“That is why I wish the country was better. Because I feel like no one would want to leave.”

Popular Nigerian singer/songwriter, Simi has penned an advice for a 22-year-old fan who asked for help in her relationship.

In a Snapchat session with her fans, the singer and mother of one posted the story of a fan who asked for her advice in navigating her relationship with a 30-year-old single dad.

The message reads:

“I’m a 22 year old college student and recently started dating a 30 year old guy who has a kid. I really really lhe him a lot. Like I feel we are so compatible, but I know my parents will be so against it. What do you think I do in this situation?”

Reacting to her message, Simi penned a lengthy advice, noting that she should not date him just because she loves him but consider other things.

This has generated reactions from fans who stated that it is hard to date a single dad while others advised her to focus on her life and leave the single dad alone.

@precioushair.ng: “Love is not enough. When you enter your eyes go clear.”

@africanflamingo_: “She should focus more on bettering herself, finding her path and making money at young age than love.”

Popular singer/songwriter, Simi has opened up on how her perspective on motherhood changed after giving birth to her daughter.

In a recent episode of The Roadshow on Cool FM, Simi admitted that she once believed she would be the type of mother to have multiple nannies for her children.

The show host asked, “What is one thing that you have said, ‘It will never be me,’ but it’s so you right now?”

The mother of one took a moment to reflect before responding, “Before I had my daughter, I used to say that I would have five nannies and my nanny would have a nanny; that’s not the case.”

Simi revealed that, contrary to her initial plans, she only hires nannies for her daughter Adejare when they are in Nigeria but not when abroad.

“I’m super hands-on. In fact, when we’re in the States, I don’t have any nannies, but here I have someone to watch her when I have to work because I’m busier here than there. That’s just not the kind of mum I ended up being.”

I was so certain back then that I was like, ‘I will have two nannies and those nannies will have a nanny and their nannies will have nannies too’. I shouldn’t have thought that, though, knowing me, I really shouldn’t have,” she stated.

“In the past few years, have you picked up new skills or hobbies that aren’t music?” the host asked, switching the topic.

“I’m trying to write a book, a novel. I used to say that if I wasn’t an artiste I would probably be a novelist. Maybe some romance. Some fantasy, some suspense. I also want to work on a children’s project; it’s an untapped market,” Simi said.

Simisola Kosoko, the famous Nigerian songstress, who is popularly known as Simi, has said she doesn’t listen to other artistes’ songs aside from her husband, singer Adekunle Gold.

Appearing on the ‘Zero Conditions’ podcast, she explained that she only listens to Gold’s music because they were married.

Simi said, “I don’t listen to anybody’s music, the reason I listen to my husband’s songs is because I’m married to him.

“I like Post Malone’s first album ‘Beerbongs & Bentleys’. love J.Cole. I don’t listen to anybody’s music. Nothing changed. I just don’t know.

“I don’t really listen to anybody’s music. The reason I’m listening to my album now is because it just came out. In few weeks, I probably won’t listen to it as much as I do now.”
