Veteran singer, Eedris Abdulkareem has said 21 years after he released his controversial song, ‘Jaga Jaga’ which satirised the poor living condition in Nigeria, the country is still in ruins.
He lamented that things are getting worse, stressing that the exchange rate of the Dollar is going to N2,000.
He bemoaned the hardship in the country while featuring as guest in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast co-hosted by actor Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, aka Nedu, Deity Cole, and Husband Material.
Abdulkareem said, “Nigeria still Jaga Jaga 21 years later. Hunger everywhere, people are dying. How will people survive when Dollar is N1600? Goodluck Jonathan left it N198. [Muhammadu] Buhari took it to N300, [Bola] Tinubu skyrocketed it to N1600.
“Dollar is going to N2000. So how do you want common people to survive in this country? Even the Yorubas they were shouting ‘Emilokan’, they are the ones dying of hunger now.”
