Veteran musician Eedris Abdulkareem has stated that 21 years after releasing his controversial song ‘Jaga Jaga’, which satirised Nigeria’s deplorable living conditions, the country is still in ruins.
He complained that things were growing worse, pointing out that the Dollar’s exchange rate was about to reach N2,000.
He lamented the country’s hardships when appearing as a guest on a recent edition of The Honest Bunch Podcast, co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, alias Nedu, Deity Cole, and Husband Material.
Abdulkareem said, “Nigeria still Jaga Jaga 21 years later. Hunger everywhere, people are dying. How will people survive when Dollar is N1600? Goodluck Jonathan left it N198. [Muhammadu] Buhari took it to N300, [Bola] Tinubu skyrocketed it to N1600.
“Dollar is going to N2000. So how do you want common people to survive in this country? Even the Yorubas they were shouting ‘Emilokan’, they are the ones dying of hunger now.”
