Nigerian reggae dancehall singer, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has said that he will not be voting in the 2019 general election because the same “old leaders” will continue to mess things up.
The apparently angry music star said that he also sees no reason why any Nigerian youth should vote.
According to him, youths are too scared to fight for the future, therefore, “we unconsciously accept to have no future”.
Burna boy on his Insta stories wrote,
“He (Macron) was six years old when Buhari was Nigerian Head of State in 1983. Now, Emmanuel Macron is President of France. Buhari is Nigerian President.
“If this doesn’t explain it all, I don’t know want can.
“I will not be voting (in 2019) and see no reason why me or any Nigerian youth should.
“If you think your votes mean anything or that you can implement change by voting for the same people, you are delusional and you’re part of the problem.
“We are hopeless youths who are too scared to fight for our future. Therefore, we unconsciously accept to have no future. Just recycle the past over and over while praying and talking so much.
“They (old leaders) will continue to mess with us unless we tame them.”
