Taking to her Instagram page on Wednesday, the entertainer praised Nigerians for their resilience, perseverance, and ability to find joy despite the nation’s numerous challenges.

“My home, my country Nigeria is 65 today. Through it all, our people keep pushing, persevering, and finding joy even in the toughest times. God did not rush when He made us. He gave us resilience, spirit, and endless energy. In my next life, I’d still choose to be Nigerian,” she wrote.

Her post quickly drew mixed reactions from fans and countrymen, with many lashing her, claiming she's a privileged child, while others echoed her sentiments and expressed pride in being Nigerian despite the difficulties the country faces.

@the_oddmind___"This is a statement from someone born into affluence.

The people of Oke-Ode in Kwara, Owoh in Ondo, Benue and many other places where Fulani herders are kidnapping, rapping and killing them will never wish to be a Nigerian again.

If I am to choose in the next life, I won’t choose Nigeria.
I rather choose Togo or Benin 🇧🇯"

@PoloM77___"Would you blame her... Nigeria favoured her father and now she has everything life can offer! Nigeria is a great place to live in when your father is among the 0.5% elite"

@son_of_the_soiI___"Of course, which other country will make your father a federal government billionaire, and you a celebrity with no talent. Una too hammer.."
