Afrobeat musician and youngest
son of afrobeat legend Fela, Seun Kuti has condemned the reality TV show saying it added no value in any form on the lives of Nigerians
but has rather highlighted our love for senseless consumerism.
He said; “I believe that the fact someone from the Niger Delta won the BBA nonsense is very accurate.”
“I mean what other region has been fu*ked by international extractors more?” “While the majority jubilates when one of them is given peanuts in corrupt returns for their suffering.”
He further added, “Someone has won but the nation stays losing! Another big L for Nigeria and I don’t mean the late talent.”
“When Big Brother’s celebration of senseless consumerism and misdirection gets more young people voting than our national elections and candidates, we just need to raise better people, shikena!!
" I mean I thought we Fela kids were the ‘no do wells’ and the uncouth! How come we care so much?”“Re-evaluate yourself. What have you learnt in the past 90 days that you couldn’t have learnt just paying attention to your own life?”
I don't know this guy in any form apart from the awareness of his name but for me he has just expressed a profound truth. When people suffer and are impoverished, most often than not there's something about them that disposes them to that condition.
