According to the singer, it was unfair to other professions for footballers to earn millions, as he shared several young boys in his area who play for free.

“Collecting millions to chase ball around field, footballers are making millions weekly. Why should footballers be paid better than nurse and doctors? It’s not fair ” Seun said.

The singer’s comment comes after Manchester City midfielder Rodri issued a warning about a potential strike from footballers.

Seun Kuti shared his understanding of a chapter of the Bible as it relates to Africans.
