Afrobeat legend, late Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s son, Seun Kuti has lambasted Nigerians.

He said; “In Nigeria, we as Motherland people, we need to shed the spirit of the oppressor.”

“It is not a very easy thing to do because it takes a lot of self-reflection and some people end with self-doubt and they don’t want to linger there.”

“Because it takes a lot of energy to power through that doubt to get to clarity.”

“We are all educated by our oppressors. They set themselves as examples of society. So, we find ourselves, even though we’re oppressed, mimicking the oppressors.”

“There’s no way in Nigeria today, our money can be laundered without the assistance of our bankers.”

“There’s no way people’s homes can be displaced without the help of civil servants.”

“There’s no way people can be abused on the streets without the help of policemen and military men.”

“There’s no way our educational sector can be destroyed without the help and connivance of our lecturers and vice-chancellors.”

“So, majority of the oppression that we feel as a people is actually perpetrated by us, on behalf of the oppressor.”

“We so believe in the spirit, and we think if we just keep our head down, and we don’t say anything, one day, we’ll also become an oppressor. So, everybody is kind of an oppressor in waiting.”
