- Nigerian rapper Dandizzy criticized his country’s infrastructural development, stating that it is 50 years behind Kenya and Uganda.
- He criticized Nigeria for its music export and football, arguing that if not for these, the country should have closed down.
Nigerian rapper Dandizzy has likened his country’s progress to those of its African rivals, Kenya and Uganda.
Based on his travel to the two East African countries, the rapper concluded that Nigeria is 50 years behind in terms of infrastructure development.
He added Nigeria, the “na just for mouth” African Giant, ought to have been shut down if it weren’t for its export of music and football.
In response to journalist David Hundeyin’s remark that Kenya is superior than any nation in West Africa, Dandizzy made this statement.
It all started with a Twitter user known as @I_Am_Winter asking; “Abidjan and Nairobi, which is more developed ?“
In response, Hundeyin tweeted; “This is not a serious question bro. When Kenya is talking, the whole of West Africa should kneel down and face the wall. There’s no comparison.
Nigeria has more rich individuals than Kenya, but Kenya has a much better off middle class, and also a bigger middle class proportional to its population. So on paper Nigeria is wealthier but if you go there, you will see the truth for yourself. Nobody will have to tell you.”
Examining the situation, Dandizzy noted that Nigeria won’t be able to supply basic amenities or a reliable power source in 2024, but Uganda will.
The rapper wrote; “Been to Uganda and Kenya and I can tell you that we’re 50 years behind, African giant nah only for mouth, if no be music and football we suppose close this country start afresh. I added Uganda because they have 24/7 light and all the basics, nah we still no get basics for Africa.”
