They Say “E Go Better”, It’s Getting Worse – Basketmouth On Nigeria’s Economy

Basketmouth On Nigeria's Economy | fab.ng

Nigerian comedian Basketmouth has openly expressed his frustrations with the state of Nigeria’s economy and its leadership.

During his appearance at the African Muzik Magazine Awards (AFRIMMA), Basketmouth addressed two major concerns in his interview. First, he emphasized the continuous rise in inflation. Then, he highlighted the rapid devaluation of the naira. He went on to explain how both issues are severely affecting the lives of everyday 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.”

Basketmouth criticized Nigerians who say ‘E go better.’

“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,” he explained.

” ‘E go better. E go better’… It’s getting worse bro”

First, Basketmouth thinks the government deliberately created economic problems. As a result, he believes government leaders want citizens to leave Nigeria. Additionally, he pointed out that Nigerians use the term ‘japa’ for this situation. Specifically, ‘japa’ refers to when people leave the country to find better opportunities elsewhere.

“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,” said the actor.

Sarcastically, he added, “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.”
