Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Dancehall musician Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale claims he constantly chuckles when he hears someone criticizing the government.
The Gringo hitmaker claimed in an interview with 3 Music that although governments are acting to the best of their abilities, citizens are not making the most of their position.
He claims that instead of seizing their opportunity and being proactive, the populace is apathetic and blames the government for not doing enough for them.
“Sometimes, when we blame the politicians, I laugh. Politicians are doing everything they can to work as politicians. It’s just that when you’re lazy in your mind and you don’t know how to take advantage of opportunities yourself, you will always be talking about politicians”, he said.
He continued; “Politicians are like cartels with how they run things. It’s not that they’re disrespecting the people; they promise, and you vote for them.
But when they go to the white man and take money from them, the white man thinks that they will use it to provide jobs for the youth.
They don’t know that the politician will take that money and give it to cheap labour, those from the rural areas.”
Politicians, according to Shatta Wale, have conducted surveys and discovered that people with post-secondary education prefer to flaunt their fine looks and ostentatious possessions than seek for construction jobs.
“They know that those who went to tertiary institutions will not apply. Our politicians have realised that the youth want flashy things and to wear suits. They don’t want to go into construction. But there’s a lot of money in construction,” he concluded.
