Popular Nigerian actor, comedian and singer, Samuel Animashaun Perry, better known as Broda Shaggi, has claimed that continuous betrayal by the leaders has left Nigerians jaded.
The comedian stated this in a post he shared via his Instagram page on Wednesday.
He wrote: “There was a time when the ‘WAZOBIA’ ideal was popular; this Nigeria was our own and it didn’t matter what region you were from.
“Every line in our pledge meant so much. It was sincere and backed with faith.
“With each tenure of the government, we realized that the people we trusted our nation with kept betraying us until we became a jaded people.
“It’s now ‘dog eat dog’ out here, the people who are supposed to uphold the rule of law treat us like we are the enemies. Everybody has experienced some form of pain, cruelty, and neglect from the government and its law enforcement agencies.
“Earlier this year, I put together a theatrical performance where I wrung out my soul and those of my collaborators. It encapsulates our desires for a better Nigeria, one with hope and love. I hope we don’t give up fighting for our land, I hope we summon the bits of our living selves and become “Brutus to their Neros”.
