Nigerian singer Wizkid spoke about the happenings in Nigeria.
Nigerians have been going through a lot recently, from the #EndSars protest to #endbadgovernenceinnigeria protest and to recently realizing the government have been hiding palliatives that were supposed to be distributed to the masses during the Covid-19 lockdown. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions in the country.
The popular music star popularly called Wizkid has granted an interview about the #endSars movement in Nigeria and his newly released music album titled “Made In Lagos”
Nigeria music star Wizkid has been speaking about police brutality in the country and how it has become a menace in society.
The singer was a guest at The Beats 99.9 FM where he chatted with Osi Suave on his album ‘MadeInLagos.’
“I believe if you are young and you grew up in Nigeria there is no way you have not suffered police brutality except your father is Obasanjo. It’s an issue that affects everyone. It affects you, it affects me, it affects my family, it affects my friends,” he said.
“I have producers and cousins that are on the road every day. I feel like it is going to be a big shame for anyone in this generation in any field you do not open your mouth and speak about the things that are happening in Nigeria. This SARS situation is even our smallest problem in Nigeria that’s why we should not be scared.”
“Imagine police killing someone as the smallest problem in Nigeria? We don’t have food, we don’t have light. The things that we don’t have is even too much. I feel like it has to get to a point where the people know their power and speak out about certain things. I’m just doing my own little part even though I’m not Martin Luther King. I’m just speaking about something that concerns me personally.”
The music star has been vocal since the beginning of the #EndSars protest in the country.
