Simi: the only thing Nigerians respect more than religion is fear.

Singer Simi recently weighed-in on the reactions of Nigerians on the coronavirus pandemic revealing that many Nigerians would rather obey their religious leaders and honor religious gatherings than do the right thing by staying indoors as prescribed by health bodies. She also stated that using fear as a strategy to keep people at bay should be adopted since fear is the only thing that most Nigerians respect more than their religious leaders.

Taking to her account on the Twitter micro-blogging platform she wrote;

“Don’t spread fear.” They said. At this point, we might need to change that strategy because the only thing Nigerians respect more than religion is fear. Everything needs to shut be down. Not later. Now!”

"Don't spread fear." They said.

At this point, we might need to change that strategy because the only thing Nigerians respect more than religion is fear.

Everything needs to shut be down. Not later. Now!
