For a while now, there has
been crisis in Togo between the ruling Gnassingbe family dynasty who
have ruled for 50 years, and its citizen, and this has led to the death of
scores of people.
The criticism comes after Yemi
Alade performed in support of one of the "most brutal dictators in
Africa". Farida said she was disappointed in Yemi for not using her
influence for good.
Speaking during an interview,
Farida said of Yemi Alade:
"Because they paid her a
couple of hundreds thousands of Dollars? We were like 'this lady is just a
disappointment, and I'm like, I'm so angry and so mad at her that I swear
if I see her on the street I'm going to curse her because these are people who
are feeding on the suffering of others. They are embellishing the image of
brutal dictators just for a couple of thousands of Dollars."
She also called out Togolese
footballer Emmanuel Adebayo. She said:
"We have Adebayor, we have
the Toofans but the unfortunate and sad thing about Togo is that these
celebrities you are mentioning they kind of like function in a club - a
club of the aristocrat and elite.
Like Adebayor has campaigned for Faure
Gnassingbe (the President) in 2015 and the people were so outraged, you know.
He lost a lot of respect from the Togolese people for doing that. The Toofans
did the same, they're still doing it."
