Skales Criticizes Nigerians Turning to Activists for Justice Instead of Government
Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has voiced his concerns about the growing mistrust in the government.
In a post on his X handle, the singer shared his thoughts on the unfortunate reality that many citizens now feel more inclined to turn to fellow citizens, like activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), rather than government institutions for justice.
Skales expressed his disbelief, writing, “It’s crazy what is going on in Nigeria … imagine a situation where citizens can’t turn to the government for help but instead reach out to someone like VDM for justice.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but God bless and protect him.”
Activists like VeryDarkMan have emerged as voices of reason and action, often stepping in where the government falls short.
VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken advocacy on social issues, has gained significant recognition for his efforts to expose injustices and hold those in power accountable.
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
