Renowned Nigerian musician Simisola Bolatito Kosoko simply known by the stage name, Simi has lashed out at African politicians. She claimed that the majority of African leaders just care about their “greedy bellies,” according to the singer-turned-actress.
She asserted in a string of tweets that certain African leaders do not adore their nation or citizens. She continued by saying that it is because of these politicians’ acts that Africans look outside of their fatherland for survival.
She said, “Black Africans have to fight and fight for space and respect and survival everywhere they go because the one place that is their birthright is hard on their lives. One would think this would make African leaders wake up and help us fight for our dignity.
“Who really wants to go to a land of strangers, away from everyone and thing they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it is good or easy. They just don’t want to die feeling that helpless.
“But these leaders don’t love their country. They don’t love their people. They only love their greedy bellies. They only care about their own children. They only care about their families. As long as their wickedness is not happening to them, why stop?”(sic)
