Singer Simi comments on ASUU

Singer Simi wrote:“Higher institutions on strike for months almost, if not every, year. The odds are always stacked against the average Nigerian. You spend the first half of your life just trying to survive.

“Taking away the hopes and dreams of the youth. Destroying their futures so they’re ready to settle for crumbs. Just so they can live to see the next day and fight for more crumbs. Because they’re not your own children, their futures don’t matter? Shame on you!

“If the leaders in our own country cannot have compassion on their own people, then what can we really do? They get into power and abuse it, abuse the people they should be serving. “

Taking a swipe at the federal government led by President Muhamadu Buhari, Simi said: “The rest of the world laughing at the so-called giant of Africa. Shame on all of you!!

“Imagine doing a four-year course for eight years but still no job. This wickedness is too much.”
