Crisis crooner African China has revealed that his colleagues
have rejected joining him to fight the Boko Haram menace through music.

He said that he had a new song called Boko Haram, but his fellow colleagues refused to join him and be the voice of the people.
African China, who has given his life to Christ and might soon be a
gospel singer also said the government is at fault for the Boko Haram
crisis.
When told to explain his song Boko Haram He said: The evil in
mankind. If Nigerians wanted President Goodluck Jonathan to resign,
trust me, it is not a thing of killing innocent souls. If you do not
want Jonathan, it is as simple as rebelling like campaign just ok ooo,
you promised us good road, good health, electricity, fuel but scarcity
and you have not delivered.
But the issue of taking lives, I don’t buy the idea. That was why I
stood up to write that song. When I wanted to do the song, I called few
of my colleagues that I wanted to do a song of such, they were all happy
and they were like ‘it’s good’. But when it was time to do it, everyone
started running. The next thing they said was; ‘na you now, you are the
best man in position to talk about that thing, you know me I can’t,’
and that was it.
On his Gospel;
Actually, I will say maybe the calling of God has started
manifesting. The thing is, I will not say I am diverting to gospel
music, but it’s just that African China is a conscious artistes and I
have a lot of gospel fans, so, my pastor advised me to do a compilation
of all my gospel songs, both the old and the new ones into one CD.
If you listen to the songs, you will hear those old gospel songs. So I
did everything together and called it ‘The Gospel.’ So, I am not
diverting. But if the call comes, I will gladly go just like this
popular gospel song, ‘here am I, send me, here am I, send me, if the
Lord wants somebody, here am I, send me.’ So, the gospel songs are for
the Christians, while the secular songs are for those that know African
China.
On who to be blamed for the many bomb blasts, African China said;
I will tell you whole heartedly that the government has to be blamed,
the leaders, most especially, because if I want to use the word
political parties, I will be making a big mistake because right now, as
we speak, some states are been ruled by some, I will say we have two
strong parties, so when I say the leaders, I am talking to these two
parties. As long as you are a leader, I am talking to you.
We have a vital role to play in this issue. Now, they installed CCTV
cameras everywhere in Lagos, Abuja and other states, and still you
cannot tell me you saw these people, haba, why are we lying to
ourselves? Yes, we want to copy the ‘White people’, but we don’t copy
the good things, we copy the bad things. What do we copy? Our ladies
want to start smoking in a hot weather, not knowing that over there that
people smoke because of the cold. Our ladies in Nigeria, under the hot
sun, start smoking, what for? Not knowing that it affects them during
pregnancy. Nobody wants to know that. The ladies do not want to know. It
is fun to them. But it is not fun to us.
Our ladies want to divorce their husbands, why? Because over there,
it’s a woman’s world but here, it’s a man’s world, why? Here, we pay
bride price, over there, you don’t pay bride price. The bride price you
pay is when you divorce, you split. How can you pay bride price here in
this country? That is one thing they need to sort out in this country.
How can you pay bride price and at the end of the day, your wife wants
to divorce you? I want a 50/50 of your property, how? The House just
needs to stop the fact that ok oo, no more bride price.
He also spoke about the abducted girls;
Not at all. They don’t even care. The governments don’t care. Like in
that song ‘Anugboko’, I said ‘the government thinks say me I don craze,
they think say I be born thruway?’ Nigerians are like born thruway,
wetin concern them. Do you know why Jonathan is concern now, it’s
because celebrities from outside countries are now the people
campaigning that’s why.
If you play the song, they will tell you don’t play the song on air.
They are jeopardizing the image of this country, which country? If the
country is not good, it’s not good. Let’s call a spade a spade. What is
not good, it is not good. If you no do good, we should say it. What
happened in Egypt, Syria, Libya? You are ruling these people and they
pay taxes. Where is Michelin company today? They are now in Ghana. How
big is Ghana to compare to Lagos not to talk of Nigeria. This country is
fu*ked, I think it’s high time we split.
