‘Are you humans?’ Ruggedman calls out “heartless” African leaders

One of Nigeria’s most controversial rappers Ruggedman has called out African leaders who plunder their country’s resources and leave their citizens in want.

In a lengthy message posted on his social media page, the rapper complained about heartless and vissionless African leaders whose policies are not people-centred.

Ruggedman’s post on his official Twitter handle reads;” I weep for Africa: We are so greedy we have no shame, self respect or integrity. We just want money and power even if it doesn’t come with respect. Africa is a shameless continent, that greed is making us play right into the hands of the western world.

“If after 50 years of independence you have not built the necessary infrastructure for your people, are you humans?

“If you sit on gold, diamond, oil, manganese, uranium… and your people don’t have food, are you humans?

“If to stay in power, you buy weapons from strangers to kill your own citizens, are you humans?

“If you despise and shoot your own citizens like game, who will respect them?”

“if you take all resources meant for development of your country for personal property are you humans?

Recall that the hardcore rapper recently revealed that he was approached to be a running mate of a governorship candidate in Abia State (which he didn’t mention) but said he declined the approach as he wasn’t yet ready for such a venture.
