Why My Father Is Not A Normal Nigerian Father - Nissi

Nigerian singer Nissi Ogulu is a multi hyphenate talent in every way. She is a musician, has worked in tech, an artist, a business woman, and if you don't know her for her individual accomplishments, then you might know her as being the sister to one of Nigeria's most famous names in music, Burna Boy.

During a new interview with Chude, Nissi opens up about her mother who we are very familiar with at this point, and also her father, a man who don't hear that much about. She opens up about the most fearless thing she has seen her mother do, and why her father is so different to other African fathers she's encountered. Here is what Nissi had to say.

During the interview, Nissi was asked "Did you grow up seeing your mum as fearless?" She responded:

NISSI: Oh yes. She is the creme de la creme. 100%. I give her all the accolades.

"What is one of the most fearless things you ever saw her do?"

NISSI: It's almost a vague memory but I can't remember quite why we were there but we were in a room with a lot of governors and I think there was a debate on languages and business mentalities, and I just saw her stand up and walk into the middle of the room and basically quiet everyone. And she starts to explain her methodologies and her ideologies and breaks down the importance of understanding cultures. In that moment, I just thought 'ah, this woman is a boss'. Because it got everyone thinking, and she's very good at that. She speaks and you think about what she has said. So that is a moment that I remember.

"We never hear about your dad."

NISSI: Oh my guy, my gee! Oh, he's a champ, I will say. I think he is what I would want anybody I eventually end up with if I get to that point to be when it comes to parenting. He is very ready to go above and beyond for his kids without - he doesn't do the whole typical African dad thing, which I always found to be funny when I would go to other people's houses and dad comes home and everybody is shaking like 'good evening sir'. It's always been very jump on my dad, tell him anything, him being there for you, teaching you how to drive, painting your nails.

"Painting your nails? Your dad paints your nails?"

NISSI: Yeah, he used to. When I was a kid, that was a bonding moment for us. And then being the business man he is himself. Just always supporting his family and being ready to push both his wife and his kids if needed without wanting to take the spotlight.

Awww, that sounds really nice. It's good that when we finally hear things about Nissi and Burna Boy's father, it is really good reports. Their dad sounds like a really nice guy.
