ALL LOVE goes to my parents today. They’ve now been together for 38 years. This was the proudest moment of my life. The day they both saw me Perform for the first time. They were both born in NIGERIA...🇳🇬 My mother was born in Aba and is IGBO and my Father was born in Lagos and is also IGBO but speaks YORUBA as well. They immigrated to St, John’s, Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦 35 Years ago and the rest is history. What they gave me wasn’t a dollar amount and I’m happy and appreciate the struggle and tough times we went through growing up. They set an example of how to work hard and EXPECT nothing from anyone. Tough times create strong people. Thank you mom and dad for your sacrifices. I love you. And shoutout to all the parents in the world. The YOUTH are the FUTURE and it’s going to be harder than ever in this social media generation to lead them in the right direction. I will do my part by continuing to create thought provoking music. NEW SONG in drops TOMORROW 9am central on Youtube and the North American tour starts Next month Oct. 23rd… SEE YOU THERE
Two days ago, I rabbitholed into the epistolary of how Nigeria doesn't have elites.
"Nigeria is unarguably the best country to live in if you have a lot of money".
Because it is the:
- only country you can hire maids for 50,000 (32 USD) per month.
- only country you can use uniformed armed policemen as personal bodyguards for 100,000 ($60).
- only country you can get away with all manners of crime as long as you can back it up when you have to flex "do you know who I am".
- only country where you would be worshipped based on the car you drive.
- only country where private billionaire businessmen can own unregulated trucks that have accumulated insane death tolls, all without question.
There's only one consistency in all of these bullets. You're either insanely rich or insanely fucked.
That is not a good country. A country without economic security for the inbetweens, middle class and lower class IS NOT a good country.
Even if you're church rat poor in the US or Europe, you'll still be able to afford a car. You'll find cars for 800 euros/USD barely 2 weeks of pay.
"High end earners" who earn the 1M naira per month can't afford a good car, in a year of intentional savings.
When they say "Nigeria is the best country to live in" - it is mostly hinged on the ability to use cheap labor, have the ability to flex barest minimum on those at the bottom of the social caste.
A culturally corrupt country where anyone who manages to eclipse into any semblance of wealth, has a priority of stunting on others.
Even the lowlifers at the bottom of the food chain discriminate against each other based on the number of cameras their iPhones have.
This is the cultural filth that sponsors this statement.
We have a long way to go.
@winexviv Ebonyi state situation needs serious God's intervention. The education is dead and gone. Since I was born, I have never seen electricity in my village. I am 30 now. God please bless me. I want to help that state.
