SNigerian musician Simi has criticized African leaders for the mistreatment of their citizens outside of the country.
Simi remarked in tweets that despite having a place where they are legally entitled to live, Black Africans must struggle for safety, respect, and space everywhere they go.
The singer also stated that, despite the fact that this should wake up African leaders, they have consistently demonstrated a love for just their children and bellies.
She wrote;
Black Africans have to fight and fight for space and respect and survival everywhere they go because the one place that is their birth right is hard on their lives. One would think this would make African leaders wake tf up and help us fight for our dignity.
Who really wants to go a land of strangers, away from everyone and thing they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it’s good or easy. They just don’t want to die feeling that helpless.
But these leaders don’t love their country. They don’t love their people. They only love their greedy bellies. They only care about their own children. They only care about their families. As long as their wickedness is not happening to them, why stop?
