Popular Nigerian rapper and singer Tochukwu Ojogwu, known as Odumodublvck, has expressed his view on politics in Nigeria, saying it is “shambolic”.
Speaking in a recent episode of the BET Talks podcast, Odumodublvck explained that power corrupts, stressing that even the impact of a good leader can be compromised by members of his cabinet.
“Politics in Nigeria is a shambolic scene like everywhere in the world. When you gives man power, it never really goes as planned regardless of whether the person is good or bad. If the person is bad, bad people are going to make him worse. And if the person is good, you will have bad people trying to contaminate the good,” he said.
He lamented that many Nigerians have been “brainwashed” into holding only the President accountable, while ignoring other political officer holders.
“Nigerians have been so brainwashed that when there is a problem, the first thing they think about is the president. You have your local chairman, councillor, senator, who are directly representing you, but you are holding only the president accountable for all the challenges our society is facing. Other public officials should also be held accountable,” he added.
