Nigerians took to their social pages to slam African Giant – Burna Boy for saying they deserve any bad thing that happens to them as they do not hold their leaders accountable enough.
The Odogwu singer added that Nigerians should use the same energy they used in reporting Funke Akindele for holding a house party, to hold politicians accountable for their actions.
According to the popular opinions making the round on Twitter, Burna Boy is wrong for saying Nigerians, who drag their politicians every chance they get, don’t do that enough. According to Nigerians on Twitter, Burna Boy does not use his platform as much as he should for positive activism as they believe he should. His attitude of superiority, according to many stirred from being compared to the legendary Fela, who without the help of social media, criticized the government and public figures during his time.

What does Burna Boy mean by "keep up the same energy"?

Burna Boy has been compared with Fela. Let’s see their activities so far:
Fela- dragged an entire government and celebrities alike without presence of social media
Burna Boy- wore pant on stage, gets dragged by twitter, leaves twitter, subs twitter on ig, delete posts.
