- According to grammy award nominee Seun Kuti, who said he believes there is nothing much to be celebrated as Nigeria mark her 61st independence
the iconic singer who is also the convener of a group, Movement of The People, noted that Nigeria is near collapse as the high level of hunger, insecurity, unemployment and corruption is ‘worrisome’.
He said, “It is fitting to bring you all warm solidarity greetings as we celebrate the 61st anniversary of our dear nation! Even though there is nothing to celebrate, owing to the near-collapse in the state of our dear nation.
“With the worrisome level of hunger, insecurity, high rate of unemployment, and wanton looting, the celebration of today’s anniversary calls for a sober reflection and the need to re-organise ourselves to get involved in the democratic process with the view to set the nation on the road to recovery.”
He took the opportunity to urge Nigerians who are of voting age to participate in the voting process in other to make Nigeria great again.
said that as the ongoing voter’s registration has begun, all eligible Nigerians must get their voters card.
He also went on to say that “In 1960, the poverty level was at 15 per cent, but today, the poverty level is 50 per cent, thereby making the Giant of Africa the poverty capital of the world. In Fela Anikulapo’s voice, ‘as time de go things just de bad, poor man de cry’. May the Legendary Abami Eda’s soul continue to rest in peace!!
