Nigerian rapper Zlatan Ibile has criticized the federal government for failing to address the country’s worsening economic hardship.
Speaking during an interview with Madame Joyce in the UK, the music star lamented that Nigerians have become accustomed to suffering due to the government’s inaction. He made the comments while reacting to British rapper Dave’s satirical depiction of wealthy Nigerian clubgoers juxtaposed with impoverished beggars outside nightclubs.
“We’ve gotten used to it suffering and smiling. That’s how it has always been, and the government isn’t doing anything about it,” Zlatan said.
The artist further noted that many beggars in Nigeria have turned begging into a full-time occupation, despite frequently receiving support from generous citizens, including celebrities. He described the growing sense of entitlement among some of them as “annoying.”
Zlatan advised street beggars to explore meaningful and productive ventures that would restore their dignity and provide long-term financial stability.
