A certain Togolese activist, Farida Nabourema has slammed Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade for her role in propagating the political oppression of the people of Togo.
Speaking in a chat with Sahara Reporters, the angry activist noted that African celebrities use their positions to endorse political oppression.
In the outgone months, the people of Togo have been protesting about their president, Faure Gnassingbe, who has been in power since 2005, after the death of his father, Gnassingbe Eyadema, who ruled for 38 years.
The activist also slammed footballer Emmanuel Adebayor, who endorsed Gnassingbe for presidency in 2015. Nabourema stated that she used to love Yemi Alade, until she listened to her singing in support of “one of the most brutal dictators in Togo, because they paid her a couple of hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
She said she was so angry and would curse Alade if she ever gets to meet her. Nabourema labeled the singer as someone who is “feeding on the suffering of others.” “They are embellishing the image of a brutal dictator just for a couple of thousands of dollars,” she said.
