SAMKLEF: Nigerian politicians are the real ‘yahoo yahoo’
Nigerian singer, producer and songwriter Samklef has called the bluff of Nigerian politicians for failing the electorate time and again especially after making bogus campaign promises which they don’t usually keep.
The music producer who was signed onto the KonLive record label owned by African American pop singer, entrepreneur and label executive Akon last year said Nigerian politicians are the ‘real yahoo boys’.

“Nigerian politicians are the main yahoo yahoo. They promise you heaven and earth before elections, but when they get power, they enrich themselves and forget about the masses. They should stop harassing the youths, abeg and focus on building a better nation,” he wrote on Instagram.
In recent times, Nigerian celebrities like Charly Boy, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Oritsefemi and many others have not spared the ruling class over their style and manner of governance especially as it concerns matters that involve alleviating the sufferings of scores of Nigerians living below poverty level.
