Femi Kuti Advises Nigerians to Shun Tribalism Amid Fuel Price Increase, Poor Electricity Conditions

• As Nigerians continue to strive amid the harsh economic situation, Afrobeats singer Fela Kuti has shared the way forward
• He noted that the country has electricity, but it has been grouped into different categories and there is no guarantee that those in Band A would enjoy a constant power supply
• The veteran singer also stated that tribalism and ethnicity are not the problems of the country, and he shared how his tribe has betrayed him in the past

Afrobeats singer Fela Kuti has shared how challenging the current situation in Nigeria has become. He shared how the citizens have to queue for fuel when the price was N500 and the queue has remained even when the price is currently above, N1000 per litre.

According to the singer, Nigerians should eschew tribalism and ethnicity. Besides, he said he was a core Yoruba man, but his tribesmen have betrayed him multiple times. He added that he has seen the Igbos and Hausas betray, but there are also good Igbo and Hausa men.
