Pop/RnB singer, YolyBoy seems to appreciate 2Baba’s recent words in a chat with Showtime where he adviced Nigerian youths ahead of the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
YolyBoy said; “If only all the Icons and stars can just imitate what 2face did then I think Nigerians will begin to have positive mindsets and actions because these stars can influence a lot of youths by just encouraging and sensitizing them”. YolyBoy also advised Nigerian youths to stop celebrating criminal-minded politicians who are only out to loot public funds and not to serve the people.
Read 2Face’s word of advice advise below.
2Face said; “My advice to the youths is that we should begin to celebrate what is right. We should stop celebrating criminals; we should stop hyping people that have done nothing to benefit us. Imagine, someone wakes one morning and suddenly becomes a Senator with a lot of money; people will begin to celebrate him/her even when he has done nothing for his people. When you campaign for votes and you finally win, you’ve to have something to show for those votes. So, we need to begin to celebrate people who are genuine and not criminals”.
The singer also shared his hope that the Nigerian populace would not allow themselves to be used by politicians again. “
I hope so, because that would depend on the electorate. I’m hoping that Nigerians will understand that politicians should not use them again; I’m hoping that they would understand that these people will tell their usual stories, but we also should tell our own story this time around”.
He also left a word of advice for the government saying;
“My advice is that they should speak to the people more, they should let us know what’s happening. When people don’t know what’s happening they tend to talk, they tend to argue. When we hear something in the news tomorrow we don’t even know if it’s the truth or a lie because the government doesn’t even talk to us; we don’t even know what’s going on. And that is a major issue; they should let the people know what’s going on, so, that the people can participate and be actively involved in the governance of the nation. The government should carry the people along.”
