Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has called on citizens to stop blaming politicians for their problems and instead take responsibility for shaping their own futures.
During a TikTok Live session, he advised his followers not to be swayed into protests or clashes with the government that leave them with nothing in return.
“Stop listening to people; it is not working. You are delaying your own time. Don’t let someone influence you to go and fight some government when you know that you’re not going to benefit from it. Those influencing you know their own mindset,” he cautioned.
The ‘Street Crown’ composer went on to stress that progress comes from personal drive and creativity, not from waiting for political change.
“You guys allow it. So, don’t blame politicians for your losses and your lazy life. Politicians do not own your life. Own your own life. There are a whole lot of ways you can create something for yourself,” Shatta Wale stated.
