African leaders are selfish, they only care about their 'greedy bellies' - Simi

Nigerian singer Simisola Bolatito Kosoko, popularly known as Simi has criticized African leaders, calling them "greedy bellies" for their inability to develop their own nations but instead travel overseas.

The singer in a tweet she shared on Wednesday, March 8, claimed that Africans struggle for survival and space everywhere they go because their politicians only have their "greedy bellies" in mind.

According to Simi, nobody would choose a stranger's territory over their own if life were made easy, adding that the leaders' greed is mirrored in the low social and economic development of the continent's population.

She wrote: “Black Africans have to fight and fight for space and respect and survival everywhere they go because the one place that is their birthright is hard on their lives. One would think this would make African leaders wake tf up and help us fight for our dignity.

“Who really wants to go land of strangers, away from everyone and the things they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it’s good or easy. They just don’t want to die feeling that helpless.

“But these leaders don’t love their country. They don’t love their people. They only love their greedy bellies. They only care about their own children. They only care about their families. As long as their wickedness is not happening to them, why stop?” she quizzed.

Who really wants to go a land of strangers, away from everyone and thing they love? People that want to survive. Nobody chooses that life because it's good or easy. They just don't want to die feeling that helpless.
