#BringBackOurGirls: Nigerian Artistes Are Hypocrites - African China

Dance Hall reggae act, Chinagorom Onuoha, the one we all know as African China, is not happy with his fellow artistes and has tongue lashed them, calling them hypocrites and pretenders in the campaign to force the Federal Government to effect the rescue of the abducted Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, by the dreaded Boko Haram insurgents.

According to the singer whose conscious music like Crisis, Mr. President and Our Government Bad, made serious waves in the late 90s to the early 2000s, he had called up some of his colleagues to feature in his new song, Boko Haram, with the aim of making it a collaboration of various Nigerian artistes but his colleagues turned him down during the production.

In his words:

I was happy when I approached some of the artistes, but along the line, they turned it down saying that they couldn’t do the song and as such, I had to do the song all alone.
He therefore wonders why those same colleagues of his would now turn around to copy what foreign celebrities have been doing with the #BringBackOurGirls campaign and then display it on social media. I will never forgive the Nigerian artistes doing that because it is too late to give a voice now.

When we would have sang to beg these people even before this bombing went rampant, they turned it down. Now, they are copying others, nonsense. Our celebrities only do things that trend.
