Nigerian Afro-pop singer,
Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face or 2Baba, has told Nigerian youths to
stop celebrating political thieves.
2baba told Vanguard that it was
unwise for the youths to be celebrating criminally-minded politicians who were
only out to loot public funds.
He also said that Nigerians
should be wise because some of the politicians were out to deceive them again.
“My advice to the youths is that
we should begin to celebrate what is right. We should stop celebrating
criminals; we should stop hyping people that have done nothing to benefit us.
“Imagine, someone wakes one
morning and suddenly becomes a Senator with a lot of money; people will begin
to celebrate him/her even when he has done nothing for his people.
“When you campaign for votes and
you finally win, you’ve to have something to show for those votes. So, we need
to begin to celebrate people who are genuine and not criminals”, the legendary
musician said.
“I hope so, because that would
depend on the electorate. I’m hoping that Nigerians will understand that
politicians should not use them again; I’m hoping that they would understand
that these people will tell their usual stories, but we also should tell our
own story this time around”, he said.
“My advice is that they should
speak to the people more, they should let us know what’s happening. When people
don’t know what’s happening they tend to talk, they tend to argue.
“When we hear something in the
news tomorrow we don’t even know if it’s the truth or a lie because the
government doesn’t even talk to us; we don’t even know what’s going on.
“And that is a major issue; they
should let the people know what’s going on, so, that the people can participate
and be actively involved in the governance of the nation. The government should
carry the people along”, he advised.
