Nigerian singer and activist, Charly Boy has declared that there is something bad about Nigeria’s leadership. He made this statement while speaking as a guest of Classic 97.3 FM on Jimi Disu’s weekly talk show, The Discourse. The outspoken entertainer also urged the Nigerian youth to sit up and do something about the continued domination of the affairs of this country by a class of people who are not truly committed to its well-being.
According to him: “These people have consistently looted our national treasury over the past decades. In fact, they have stolen so much that even the next generation of Nigerians are already impoverished”.
Stating why he organized a protest against the perceived enemies of Nigeria on Monday, June 12, 2017, he said, “We just wanted to take our frustration to the streets. We want to keep talking so that other Nigerians would listen to us and be forced to wake up from their own slumber. If our leaders have been so corrupt, the masses have also been corrupted by fear. What are they afraid of? Fela Anikulapo-Kuti stood up against the corrupt leaders and condemned their actions till he died. None of those people could kill him. Gani Fawehinmi did his best to oppose them and they could not kill him. I have done my bit, too and I am still alive. So why should anyone be afraid to stand up and fight for his rights?”
He urged Nigerian leaders to consider the masses in their decision making. According to him:“All we ask for is the kind of leadership that considers the masses as its first priority. We may disagree on the methodology, but the principle and the idea are the same. There is something bad with the leadership of this country,” he said.
