Nigerian rapper Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, aka Skales, has urged Nigerian youths to hurry up, make money and relocate from the country.
Videos have been making the rounds showing scores of young boys being prosecuted in court on allegations of participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest in August 2024.
The news caused widespread condemnation across the country and rapper Skales was one of those who made his feelings about it known.
Taking to his official X page, the rapper advised young Nigerians to make their money and leave the country. According to him, it has become a dangerous place, and the system is designed to hurt the youth.
Tweeting further, the music star admitted that he woke up angry because the kids who were being prosecuted in court didn’t know anything, and the police might have randomly arrested people.
In his words: “As a young man … make your money and japa … it’s dangerous out here this system is designed to hurt every young person … I woke up angry … this blodclat people are humans for f-sake … kids for godsake that don’t know shiit … that maybe the police even just arrested randomly like they always do … I hate this country.”
