Dear Nigerian artiste, sometimes act like you care about the things that affect your fans daily. For example, #EndSARS . Don't let it happen to you before you speak up. Wear an #EndSARS T-shirt to meet with the president. Or adorn one for your next show. Or sing about it. ACT.

Actually, something similar to this was what caused the shift in our music industry. We started to consume more of our music and then became proud of it. Some of us lived through a time where it was more foreign music than Nigerian music on the airwaves. Go Ghana!
