Nigerian entertainer and activist Charles Oputa, popularly known as Charly Boy, has criticised Nigerians for what he called their failure to hold leaders accountable.
In a video posted on his Instagram page on Monday, the singer, also known as Area Fada, said he had never seen a country with a higher rate of “dumb citizens” than Nigeria.
He listed what he described as signs of a failing nation: “Nigeria is a country where good roads are treated as luxury. A country where people with steady electricity are classified as the rich. And a country where the price of food can jump from N10,000 to N100,000 overnight with no questions asked. And you call that a country?”Charly Boy questioned the role of citizens, arguing that a nation cannot exist without them.
“Now tell me, can a nation exist without its citizens? No. Then what are the citizens doing? Watching creators make jokes and normalising the breakdown. And watching corrupt leaders campaign only to turn out and cheer them on. What a shame,” he said.
He described Nigeria as a great nation with vast resources that remains trapped under poor leadership and voiceless citizens.
