Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy has voiced his opposition to the proposed military intervention in Niger Republic following a coup.
Speaking through an Instagram live session hosted by his aide, King Manny, the Grammy award-winning musician called upon Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu to address the pressing fuel crisis in the country, which resulted from the abrupt removal of subsidy.

“How you wan reach the battlefield? You go use…. Wettin dem dey use that generator now do? Gas generator. E shock me. Wahala no dey ever tire Nigeria.”
