Senegalese-American singer, Akon has revealed that Nigerians are the smartest people in the world.

Akon said this when he featured on the co-hosted Drink Champs podcast anchored by N.O.R.E and Dj EFN. He also said that Nigeria produces more billionaires than anywhere in the world.

He said: “This could be debatable, but the Nigerians are the smartest people on the planet. I promise you, there is nobody smarter than a Nigerian.”

Meanwhile, he added that the country has some “bad apples” that portray the nation as an unfortunate haven.

He said: “Of course, there are a few bad apples that came out. They [the bad apples] are extremely smart. But they put their intelligence all in the wrong place.

“If they were to gear that towards something more positive or productive… Because the ones that did, there are more billionaires being made in Nigeria than anywhere in the world.”
