Nigerian singer Timaya has called on Nigerians to be intentional about their choices during elections, warning that poor decisions could result in another four years of hardship.
Speaking about the state of the country, the singer said voters should look beyond immediate personal gains when deciding who to support at the polls.
“Nobody dey advise anybody. If na wetin dey find to chop now put for your pocket, na your business. No be one day o. Na another 4 years of hardship. If you know what’s good, you have to vote right.”
Timaya also spoke about his experiences travelling abroad, saying he had seen how some wealthy Nigerians and politicians live outside the country. He claimed that some politicians keep their families abroad while continuing to govern Nigeria.
“I dey travel abroad dey see wetin dey happen na. Rich people dey abroad dey no dey stay for Nigeria, these politicians. Dey just dey work for Nigeria.”
The singer questioned how politicians could fully understand the challenges facing Nigerians when their families and personal lives are largely based abroad.
“Their families don’t stay here. So how you expect them to think right? They’re all selfish, even the ones that’re just coming and promising us they’ll be better.”
Timaya further expressed concern about the prospect of Nigerians facing more hardship under future administrations and urged voters to consider the wider consequences of their choices.
“God take any Politician wey go make Nigerians cry again.”
His comments come amid ongoing discussions about governance, living conditions and the choices Nigerians may face in the next election cycle.
