Big Brother Naija Season 5 winner, Olamilekan Agbeleshe, popularly known as Laycon, has questioned the behaviour of opposition party supporters in Nigeria over wanting the country to fail because their preferred candidate didn’t emerge as president.

The reality TV star wondered why citizens would wish for their country not to get better because of political differences.

On his X handle, the singer wrote, “Abeg wait to… so there are people (Nigerians, living in Nigeria) actively hoping and praying for things not to get better in this country“

To what end?”

Coming off his tweet was a massive backlash with with many asking him if it was the “prayers and wishes” of opposition party supporters that brought the current economic hardship in the country.

Laycon, in his reaction to the backlash, said he was misunderstood, stressing that the Nigerian leaders are a reflection of the Nigerian people.

He wrote, “I have always stood on the opinion that our leaders are a reflection of who we are as individuals. And as long as we as individuals don’t change, we’ll continue to experience what we give out. Living with the notion that disagreement means hostility and bad intention is wrong.

“I put out a tweet concerning a conversation I had earlier today and the mentions and response to the tweet shows how much some of you do not read to understand before replying. Take a moment and think before talking or typing.

“And yes, I believe our leaders are a reflection of us as a people. We have bad leaders. Yes, but bad people become bad leaders, not the other way around. The everyday people who make life hard for everyday people need only be in power for them to become leaders.

“The fuel attendants during fuel scarcity, the POS attendants during Naira scarcity, if they become leaders what would they do? The ones earning money in dollars, do you think they pray for the exchange rate to reduce or increase? Your super power of criticizing should be aimed at yourself once in a while.”

Seriously the way Nigeria is now. If we put it the way buhari left it, it would be an improvement.

RingRoadMafia:
A FOOL that claims to have gone abroad to study Economics. Laycon should please tell us how "prayers" and "wishes" are integral to Nigerias development. Was that what they taught him in the UK?

Are the prayers and wishes responsible for the naira being over 1k to the dollar? Are the prayers and wishes responsible for the massive inflation? Are prayers and wishes going to reduce fuel price from 750/lt? Are prayers and wishes responsible for Nigerias ever rising debt profile?

Unfortunate dunce! I don't want to insult the yorubas because I can see that many of them are already reprimanding the bastard on twitter. He will not die well, e sure me!

He said it.

You don't read to understand.

Your aim is to contradict whatever he says because from the caption you can deduce, rightly or wrongly, that he isn't in your camp.
