Veteran singer, Eedris Abdulkareem has stated that twenty-one years after releasing his controversial song “Jaga Jaga,” which ridiculed the poor living conditions in Nigeria, the country is still in ruins.
In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by OAP Nedu, along with Deity Cole and Husband Material, Eedis Abdulkareem lamented that things are getting worse, stressing that the exchange rate of the Dollar is going to N2,000 as he bemoaned the hardship in the country.
He said,
“Nigeria still Jaga Jaga 21 years later. Hunger everywhere, people are dying. How will people survive when Dollar is N1600? Goodluck Jonathan left it N198. [Muhammadu] Buhari took it to N300, [Bola] Tinubu skyrocketed it to N1600.
“Dollar is going to N2000. So how do you want common people to survive in this country? Even the Yorubas they were shouting ‘Emilokan’, they are the ones dying of hunger now.”
