"Poverty Is The Reason entertainers Run After policitians"- Saidi Balogun by baski92(m): 7:00am On Jan 31, 2015
Saidi Balogun says entertainers run after politicians these days because
of poverty.The popular actor told Encomium Magazine
“(Poverty), that’s why you see some of our people
running helter-skelter, campaigning for all these
politicians. But there’s one question we have all not
asked, and that’s what makes American artists donate to
politicians while the actors here in Nigeria are asking from
politicians. Every member of the National Assembly has
not made an reasonable law on piracy which has
devoured the industry. So, there’s poverty in the industry.
If there’s not, you won’t see our people flocking around
all these politicians, campaigning, singing and dancing for
them.
I saw a candidate being surrounded by some of our
colleagues;
I now said to myself, ‘if this man eventually wins, how
many actors or musicians will he remember? Although
some are doing it to make ends meet. And it’s sad
because we’re stars. I think we’re supposed to be
worshiped, not worshiping others. Even if a governor
holds your hand, he’s supposed to be happy. But now,
the reverse is the case.
