‘They need to go to an old people’s home and chill out.’ – Wizkid raps on the old Nigerian politicians

November 6, 2022 by AFRIPOL Leave a Comment

Afrobeats Superstar and sensational singer, Wizkid has asked the old feeble Nigerian politicians to go and retire immediately. He made the unexpected commentary during his interview with  The Guardian, British Newspaper.

Wizkid said to the old Nigerian politicians, “I’m about to go crazy on their asses this election. All these old men are going out of power this time. They need to go to an old people’s home and chill out.”

“Today, Wizkid is one of many Nigerians who feels unable to celebrate the country’s October independence day in the wake of the injustice.

 “There’s nothing to celebrate,” he sighs. “Except that [Nigerians] are amazing people in music, sports, comedy – entertainment in general. I’m proud of young Nigerians doing things around the world in tech. I have amazing friends, doing amazing things. That’s it, though. There’s nothing else.”

Despite the country’s present situation, Wizkid’s pride in his roots remains and he still has “big hopes” for Nigeria. “I feel hopeful there’ll be change. How soon? I’m not sure. But a lot has changed from growing up to now. There was a time when you could never speak to the president or anyone in government like that. But now you have a voice.”
