Nigerian singer, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, known professionally as Burna Boy, has explained to American veteran musician, Sean John Combs, also known by the stage name Diddy, how Nigerians are suffering during this Coronavirus lockdown.

Burna boy told the American rapper, who’s also known as Puff Daddy, that Nigerians are on lockdown without any benefit or relief material from the government.

He noted that this was the major difference between the lockdown in Nigeria and that of other countries, adding that they as artists were doing their best to better the lives of those around them.

Burna boy said this during an Instagram live chat with the wealthy American music icon.

Diddy has been putting together a “dance-a-thon” where he invites popular musicians around the world to support the healthcare workers in the frontline of the Coronavirus battle.

Burna Boy said,

“Reporting live from Lagos,” after Diddy demanded to know what the situation is like in Nigeria, he said, “We are on lockdown in Nigeria just like anyone else.”

“But the difference is that here we are locked down without any benefits or relief packages.

“It’s like everyone…especially our minorities …they are feeding from hand to mouth. [Before now] it’s like we work today, eat today and tomorrow taking care of itself and now we are in this mess.

“We are just trying to make life better for everyone around us in any way we can even though it’s not our job. We’re not the government,” he said.

Diddy said that after the Coronavirus, he would bring a lot of artists from America to Nigeria.

That's why I love burna. There is nothing to hide. U can't be dying in silence and acting as if all is well when all is not well. The whole world needs to know how corrupt our govt is. Thanks burna for speaking d truth. Nigeria is a shame.

Truth

Watched it yesterday. He's being honest naaw. Saying the true state of his country.

Na stupid people vote stupid government na. What do you expect

Nothing but the truth

Nonetheless, the government is currently telling us how they have spent billions of Naira feeding us and how they have spent a fortune building isolation centres for corona virus patients they have barely tested

>Ghana have tested 30 thousand+ people

>South Africa is close to 90 thousand people tested

>Nigeria miraculously have only tested 5 thousand people

I cried when a small boy walked up to me begging for N100 to feed himself yesterday.

The boy seems quite intelligent and spoke good English and should be probably above 10

But y Burna boy dey open teeth unnecessarily na.

Okay who will borrow me money
With interest
No be much money just 10k
Make I take sort out rent landlord wan finish me with insults

Nigerians on lockdown, government on lock up.

Hmmm, Burna! Burna! Burna! Ok

Buhari and his DSS will fellow up Burna more than ever.


That is not the problem

The problem is that our politicians have made the country's problem as normal which the people have come to accept thanks to those that helped push the tribal and religious thing.

True talk brother. Hunger Virus is deadlier than Corona Virus

These is what our government officials need. These country is a big joke. Na Hunvid20 wan kills us o not Convid19 any more

many sensible Nigerians who are patriotic to this country have cried out and begged this sycophants to stop licking the individual anus, the annoying part is learned from south who still reason like the majority of illiterate in North who just vote people in on ethnic and religion undertones are adamant in this act


for how long do we want to continue living in this complaint every time. people asked what have you done for this country before you complain, the question is what has this country invested in me that they want to gain?


Americans and other developing countries that are doing something for their country are doing so because their country invested heavily on them


as I'm still struggling a year didn't pass without rendering educational assistance to people around me. I obtained GCE for two people last year, give 3 youths money for 2020 utme. if that's not enough to show I'm committed to be proud of the project that will make this country great through my little ability


but how long do we want to continue defending Buhari, Tinubu, Gej, Ameachi, Uguwanyi, ikpeazu and other thieves ? how long. these people don't care about us, we need psychology overhaul to meet up and reason like other developing countries in Africa and the world at large


we are getting nothing in this country despite her abundance resources, average Nigerians don't get scared with dropped in oil pb because the high rate have no effect in the common lives of people. see how much Buhari claimed to have borrowed, yet we are still in a sorry case

For me, Burna Boy have been the Best Artist in Nigeria, he isn't just giving us musical bangers, he's as well banging the asses of those shameless politicians.

Bless up Burna, the Musical Activist.
