Nigerian artist and Grammy nominee, Burna boy has taken a swipe at Nigerians after the fire incident which occurred at the office of the Accountant General of the Federation on Wednesday.

Burna Boy in a recent tweet said Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have.

He also found fault with Nigerian youths for not having the same energy with which they called out Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, for their leaders.

He said in Pidgin English, “Everything were dey happen for Nigeria, Nigerians deserve am.”

“That same energy you used to make an innocent woman that works for her money to feed her family get arrested. Now she has lost all her endorsement deals,” he further said (this part has been translated to English for better understanding)

“Use that same energy to tackle your politician, the people who steal your money.

“You people will suffer, this is just the beginning.”

However, following Burna Boy’s statement, Nigerians on Twitter have taken to the platform to lash back at him as they described him as Ikorodu Lucky Dube.

Below are some of the tweets:

So I woke up to see #IkoroduLuckyDube trending ?

That’s a good lesson:
NOBODY can talk shit about Nigerians on Twitter and get away with it.

You have never spoken up for us,
You have never joined our agitations,
But you want to talk crap.

Odogwu with the brain of an IsiEwu.
