In a recent social media post, Ghanaian artist Shatta Wale has expressed his frustration towards Ghanaians mocking Nigerians amid ongoing fuel price challenges.
He stated, “You wey get light, your brain is dark,” highlighting the irony of those who criticize Nigerians despite their own circumstances.
Shatta Wale emphasized the financial burden that many Nigerians face, particularly when it comes to the rising costs of fuel, known locally as “patrol.”
He pointed out that if Ghanaians truly understood the economic pressures of purchasing fuel daily, they would reconsider their jokes at Nigeria's expense.
“It costs so much money to buy patrol every day. Can you afford that?” he challenged his critics.
His remarks come at a time when fuel prices in Nigeria have become a significant issue, with many citizens struggling to cope with the financial implications.
Shatta Wale’s comments aim to shed light on the complexities of the situation, urging Ghanaians to show empathy rather than mockery.
The artist's statement has sparked discussions on social media, with many supporters agreeing that mocking others without understanding their challenges is not only insensitive but also unproductive.
As both nations navigate their unique economic struggles, Shatta Wale’s message serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity and understanding within the West African community.
