A Nigerian comedian and songwriter, Samuel Animashaun Perry,
popularly known as Broda Shaggi, has expressed concern over the current state
of the nation.
In a post on his verified Facebook page on Wednesday, Broda
Shaggi lamented the division between ethnic and religious groups in the country
as being portrayed by some citizens clamoring for secession.
Reacting to the current economic situation in Nigeria which
is allegedly birthed by bad governance, he said “everybody has experienced some
form of pain, cruelty, and neglect from the government and its law enforcement
agencies”.
The post reads, “There was a time when the ‘WAZOBIA’ ideal
was popular; this Nigeria was our own and it didn’t matter what region you were
from.
“Every line in our pledge meant so much. It was sincere and
backed with faith.
“With each tenure of the government, we realized that the
people we trusted our nation with kept betraying us until we became a jaded
people.
“It’s now ‘dog eat dog’ out here, the people supposed to
uphold the rule of law treat us like we are the enemies. Everybody has
experienced some form of pain, cruelty, and neglect from the government and its
law enforcement agencies.
“Earlier this year, I put together a theatrical performance
where I wrung out my soul and those of my collaborators. It encapsulates our
desires for a better Nigeria, one with hope and love. I hope we don’t give up
fighting for our land, I hope we summon the bits of our living selves and
become “Brutus to their Neros”.
