By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
Grammy award-winning Nigerian artist, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has offered his thoughts on President Bola Tinubu’s suggested military involvement in Niger Republic in the wake of a coup in the Sahelian nation.
President Tinubu recently submitted a request to the Senate seeking their backing for a military intervention against the military junta in Niger Republic. However, the request was met with refusal.
During a live session on associate Mannny’s Instagram, Burna Boy expressed his views. He encouraged President Tinubu to focus on addressing the fuel scarcity crisis in Nigeria, which was triggered by the sudden removal of fuel subsidies.
In colloquial language, Burna Boy humorously remarked, “Wettin dey sub na? Dem say na War we wan enter like this o [laughs]. Fuel never dey you wan go fight war.
“How you wan reach the battlefield? You go use…. Wettin dem dey use that generator now do? Gas generator. E shock me. Wahala no dey ever tire Nigeria.”
