Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman
has written an open letter to celebrities telling them they have a
responsibility to demand better governance for their fans.
Taking to his Instagram
page to air his views on Nigerian politics, Ruggedman said it is their duty as
celebrities to use their platform to demand better governance for the people.
See what he wrote below;
OPEN LETTER to CELEBRITIES
With humility and respect I
come before each of you who has toiled so hard with discipline & sacrifice
to come this far. May all your efforts & fame not be in vain. I write to
ignite your sub-conscious minds on the poor state of the nation and why as
celebrities should demand from the govt to FIX ELECTRICITY & SECURITY
FIRST! A vigorous campaign through our social media, peaceful rally &
personal rappourt will be efficacious. In other words, the REVOLUTION the poor
masses and Nigeria need with zero casualty is “CELEBRITY REVOLUTION”. That is
why you have a VOICE.
A quick look into the SLAVE
TRADE ERA and ask some honest questions. Who were those selling their fellow
citizens then? Who were the intermediaries? What was their gain and where do
they stand in history now? A vivid look into the approach of majority of our
politicians today, you can strike resemblance. If you have no choice than to
campaign for any, kindly make your voice count.
Picture others including
yourself from now till February vehemently BREAKING YOUR SILENCE and demanding
that that any government in power should allow the budgets and actions of the
govt in the next 2years focus on restoring 24/7 power and rebuilding police
services from personell, police stations, welfare, National Emergency Number,
National Database, Borders and Human Rights.
The Police is tied to so
many things and nobody can bring meaningful growth, fight corruption,
insecurity and achieve PEACE if we have this kind of police system. Police
salaries and welfare are horrible, the stations are always in darkness and
smelling. No staff toilet and they fuel patrol vehicles and generating sets
with their money etc. Police & Army Human Rights abuses are disgraceful.
The govt should fix the rot in these two so we can be as half better as South
Africa.
Human Rights abuses,
Domestic Violence, Insecurity are on the rise, sad part is when these crimes
are going on, nobody to call, Nobody to rescue & you must not take laws
into your hands.
Please decide now to ADD
VALUE to the society and not AS USUAL. Thank you.
