Popular Nigerian singer and rapper Zlatan Ibile has criticised Nigeria’s leadership for failing to address the country’s economic hardship.
He lamented that, due to the government’s inaction, Nigerian society had come to accept adversity as the new norm.
In a recent interview with Madame Joyce in the UK, Zlatan expressed significant concerns about the hardship in Nigeria, responding to British rapper Dave’s parody of Nigeria’s glamorous clubbers and underprivileged beggars outside the club.

“We are used to it [suffering and smiling], that’s how it has always been and the government isn’t doing anything about it,” he lamented.
The rapper added that regrettably, some of the beggers in the country have made begging their career and have refused to go into productive ventures despite receiving alms from generous Nigerians, including artists, on daily basis.
He also lamented about the entitlement of some of beggers, describing it as “annoying.”
Zlatan urged street beggers to engage in productive and dignified ventures as a lasting solution to their financial struggles.
