GEJ’s old post about Wizkid
Alongside this motivational note, Jonathan reposted a message he originally shared in 2017, celebrating Nigerian music superstar Wizkid’s remarkable achievement at the MOBO Awards.
At the time, Wizkid had made history by winning the award for Best International Act over global music heavyweights such as Jay-Z and Drake.
Jonathan expressed that the win was a personal victory for the artist and a moment of national pride, as it projected Nigeria positively on the international stage.
The former president conveyed that his sense of fulfilment is deeply connected to the progress and happiness of Nigeria. He averred that accomplishments like Wizkid’s are more than just entertainment milestones; they serve as a testament to the talent, resilience, and global potential of Nigerians.
The post read:
“When Nigeria does well, I cannot help but feel well. My happiness is tied to the happiness of Nigeria and when Nigerians break records and take the name of Nigeria to greater heights it exhilarates me. Thank you Wizkid for raising Nigeria’s flag high for the positive, not the negative. Your emergence as the Best International Act at the #MOBOAwards is a proud moment for Nigeria. And the fact that you emerged over JAY-Z and Drake makes it even more celebratory. WELL DONE. GEJ.”
