reports that she made the remarks during a recent episode of the One 54 podcast, where she discussed her experiences and observations about the country.

According to her, Nigeria has significant advantages, including a large youthful population and rapid growth in sectors such as technology, but poor leadership has slowed overall development. She added that many people no longer depend on government services because they have learned to provide for themselves.

She explained that citizens often source their own water by digging wells and treating it for use, while also handling electricity challenges through generators or solar power systems. Korra noted that in many areas, individuals and families have built personal systems just to cope with daily life due to unreliable public infrastructure.

“Nigeria is blessed. It has no natural disasters. They have been predicting that the sea would flood Lagos but instead the sea is constantly being pushed back and people are building on the reclaimed land. Lagos is growing at astronomical rate,” she said.

“There are about 300 million people in Nigeria, majority of which are youths. There is so much potential in Nigeria. Tech is going crazy there. It is the government that is hindering a lot. Most people no longer care about the government.

“In Nigeria, you’re your own government. You make your own water, dig well and purify water for you and your people. You get your own electricity, you have your own solar or generator. You basically have your own ministry. Everybody has their own kingdoms and just trying to survive,” she added.
