Basketmouth complained that things are getting out of hand in Nigeria in a recent interview.

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has lamented that things are getting worse in Nigeria.

He complained about the hardshp and hunger in the country during a recent interview with AFRIMMA.

According to him, the high inflation and naira depreciation has impacted negatively on Nigerians.

He said:

“There’s nothing that can happen, quote me anywhere. Think about it, in 1970, the year I was born, it was one naira to a dollar and this year it’s one dollar to 1600 naira. There was never a time from that time to date that the dollar crashed and went back to what it was and stayed there. It has never happened; think about it.”

“Every time it changes, all the conversations you’d be hearing is ‘E go better, E go better.’ it’s getting worse, bro. What are the policies? And what have they done? Now 100 pages for a passport is 100,000 naira; they just increased it”.

“I suspect that our government planned this thing to make the Nigerian population suffer. So that when they suffer they can now want to japa, then they will increase the price of the passport and they’d make money”.

“It’s not like I’ve given up hope; I’m hopeful. Maybe one day, the country will be better. Let’s all believe in that pipe dream. It’s done, it’s over.”
