Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, known as Kizz Daniel, has encouraged Nigerians to be thankful for their heritage, even amidst the nation’s numerous challenges.
The award-winning artiste, who is famous for his string of hits like Woju and Buga, shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, December 13, 2024.
He described Nigeria as a country “ahead of its time,” urging citizens to focus on the blessings of their nationality rather than its struggles.
Kizz Daniel, 30, wrote, “Take a second to appreciate what God has done for you; making you a Nigerian. He gave you a time before the actual time, cus Naija is ahead of time. It might seem like the rough, but guess where diamonds come from? The rough.”

Using a metaphor, the singer compared Nigeria’s current state to raw diamonds, reminding Nigerians that valuable treasures often emerge from challenging conditions.
This isn’t the first time Kizz Daniel, who recently released his Uncle K EP, has caught fans’ attention with unexpected updates.
In November, the star surprised followers with the news of a hiatus from releasing new music until 2026.
He announced, “After this, I no dey drop anything again until 2026,” sparking reactions across social media.
Since his rise to fame in 2016 with the chart-topping single Woju, Kizz Daniel has built a reputation as one of Nigeria’s most reliable hitmakers, with five successful studio albums in his name.
