I have some really interesting news about Eedris Abdulkareem and his thoughts on the current state of Nigeria. He recently appeared as a guest on The Honest Bunch Podcast, hosted by Nedu, Deity Cole, and Husband Material. During the podcast, Eedris Abdulkareem expressed his deep concern about the continuous struggle and hardship faced by the people in Nigeria.
It's been 21 years since he released his controversial song 'Jaga Jaga', which shed light on the poor living conditions in the country. Sadly, Eedris Abdulkareem feels that not much has changed, and Nigeria is still in ruins. He highlighted the widespread hunger and the alarming number of people losing their lives due to these difficult circumstances.
One specific issue that Eedris Abdulkareem mentioned is the exchange rate of the Dollar. He pointed out that it has skyrocketed to N2,000. To put things into perspective, he compared it to when Goodluck Jonathan was in power, and the exchange rate was N198. Under Muhammadu Buhari, it increased to N300, and now, under Bola Tinubu, it has reached N1,600. This significant increase in the exchange rate has a severe impact on the common people, making it incredibly challenging for them to survive in the country.
Eedris Abdulkareem also made a thought-provoking statement about the Yoruba people. He mentioned that even though they were once vocal about their dissatisfaction with the situation, they are now among those suffering from hunger. It's a heartbreaking reality that highlights the widespread impact of the current conditions.
