Nigeria’s Afrobeat star Ayo Balogun best known as Wizkid has bared his mind on the subject of ‘One Nigeria’ and insists that Nigerians can live together as one indivisible people irrespective of their religious beliefs.
Wizkid whose father is a Muslim but married to a Christian mother revealed in an interview monitored by Prime Business Africa that his family is an example of such possibility.
“One thing that has helped me in being who I am today is living in a house where my mum is a Christian and my dad is a Muslim and they never argued about what the kids wanted to do.
“My dad would be like: ‘do whatever you want’.
“If you want to go to the church, go the church. If you want to go to the mosque, go there. All I understood was that love was the only thing that kept them together for so long,” the Made in Lagos, Essence, Mood, Ojoro, Ojuelegba crooner stated.
“That has really helped me in the way that I see life, that we just need to spread more love, like that’s all, that’s it,” the multiple award-winning artiste reiterated.
The MTV Europe Music Award for Best African Act winner in 2016 and 2021 Wizkid grew up in the Ojuelegba area of Lagos, South West Nigeria, where his musical talent blossomed.
