Laycon Speaks On Bad Losers In Nigerian Political Space

 Popular musician, Laycon, Brother Naija Season 5, has raised posers on the spirit of patriotism from some politically inclined individuals.

 The Big Brother Naija winner queried why some individuals will appear to be actively wishing for the country not to progress as a result of their favoured candidates not winning the February 25 presidential election.

The rapper wondered why some Nigerians would wish for their country not to get better because of political differences.

Laycon wrote on his X handle:

 “Abeg wait to… so there are people (Nigerians, living in Nigeria) actively hoping and praying for things not to get better in this country because their preferred candidate isn’t the current President?

“To what end?”

His post elicited reactions with many accusing him of trying to diminish the struggles of Nigerians as a result of the economic hardship.

 In his reaction to the backlash, Laycon averred was misunderstood, stressing that the Nigerian leaders are a reflection of the Nigerian people.

“I have always stood on the opinion that our leaders are a reflection of who we are as individuals. And as long as we as individuals don’t change, we’ll continue to experience what we give out. Living with the notion that disagreement means hostility and bad intention is wrong.

“I put out a tweet concerning a conversation I had earlier today and the mentions and response to the tweet shows how much some of you do not read to understand before replying. Take a moment and think before talking or typing.

“And yes, I believe our leaders are a reflection of us as a people. We have bad leaders. Yes, but bad people become bad leaders, not the other way around. The everyday people who make life hard for everyday people need only be in power for them to become leaders.

“The fuel attendants during fuel scarcity, the POS attendants during Naira scarcity, if they become leaders what would they do? The ones earning money in dollars, do you think they pray for the exchange rate to reduce or increase? Your super power of criticizing should be aimed at yourself once in a while.”
