Nigerian rapper and activist, Falz has stated that he is not afraid of losing his life.
The ‘This is Nigeria’ crooner made this statement during an interview session with Christiane Amanpour on CNN.
Falz who has been on the forefront in the #ENDSARS protest told Amanpour that Nigeria is in a critical state, adding that if Nigerians don’t protest, things may further deteriorate.
He said: “I am not afraid for my life because where we are right now, I feel like I can easily die by anything else anyway. I do not know where to start because we have a non-existent healthcare system for example. We have a seriously high level of poverty; there is unemployment. We are in a critical state because of the level of corruption and mismanagement of funds that we continue to see on a daily basis. If I do not come out to complain about the state of things, I can have an accident on my way to work and die as a result of that because the state of the healthcare is nothing to write about.
“We do not even have proper hospitals because they are not well equipped. People have to travel abroad to have proper healthcare. We keep on saying that every single Nigerian is one sickness away from passing away. So what kind of life am I living any way? Why should I be afraid of dying? I am going to die anyway so what is the point.”
