We Have Never Seen Poverty At This Magnitude Before In Nigeria- Femi Kuti

Femi Kuti is pissed with the situation of the country and says he does not see himself as a Nigerian. Speaking in a recent interview with Tribune, Femi Kuti questioned the journalist interviewing him, asking what was right in Nigeria or about being a Nigerian. Hear him;


"I don't see myself as a Nigerian…I'm tired, angry and frustrated. It's either you don't live in this country or you are being a journalist. Is it the electricity or the traffic? The traffic is just unbearable. Lagosians wake up at 4:00 a.m. and don't get home sometimes till 11:00 p.m. And how much does an average person earn? In fact, I don't want to talk again. I'm just tired….We are talking about Boko Haram. We have never seen poverty at this magnitude before. Health care services are failing. Education sector is also failing; so, what is there to celebrate? Poverty? Ethnic violence? Religious differences? What exactly? Tell me."
