Burna Boy, Nigerian Afro-fusion
singer, has tackled the federal government over its nonchalance towards topical
issues plaguing the country.
Referring to the government as
one made of “recycled leaders” who don’t care about its citizens, the ‘Ye’
crooner charged Nigerians to “save themselves” and never lose focus on the
priorities amid trivial issues dominating the social media.
“Nigeria my country, please let
us get our priorities straight. I want my children and grandchildren to see
Nigeria the way we see the western world,” he wrote on his Instagram handle.
“We have real issues that we need
to channel our energy to. We die everyday at the hands of police. We are robbed
of our rights as human beings daily. Our recycled leaders don’t give a f**k
about us.
“I’m begging you, let us save
ourselves. I don’t even like the internet because it makes me feel a lot of
hopelessness for my people. We’re kings and queens, originators and creators,
gods on earth! Let’s stop bullshitting please.”
Burna Boy’s comment is coming
barely a few days after Naira Marley, his colleague in the music
industry, stirred outrage on social media following a statement he
made on internet fraud with respect to slavery.
Burna Boy, whose real name is
Damini Ogulu, is one of the Nigerian music acts that has continued to project
the Nigerian creativity beyond the shores of Africa. Having had his big break
in 2018, the singer has since been gaining traction in the global music
space.
Recently, he was in Atlanta for a
live concert as part of his ongoing world tour. The award winning singer
also announced a forthcoming 16-track album which he hinted would be
up for release in August 2019.
