Popular Nigerian singer Seun Kuti has voiced strong disapproval of the country’s billionaires, challenging their narratives of self-made success. During a recent discussion with the Igbo community, Seun Kuti, son of the legendary Fela Kuti, stated that true wealth in Nigeria is often linked to relationships with government officials and contracts from politicians.
He emphasized that many billionaires who publicly criticize the government are, in fact, benefiting from these political connections. Seun pointed out that prominent traders in bustling markets like Alaba often leverage these relationships to amass wealth while claiming to be completely self-sufficient from government support.
Reactions to his statements varied on social media, with some users echoing his sentiments and others criticizing his views. Here are a few responses:
