Onuesoke made the call with respect to the lavish spending of Nigerian celebrities engaging in purchasing expensive cars, private jets, jewelries worth billions of dollars while many Nigerians are unemployed and starving of hunger because of the country’s harsh economy.
While responding to questions from our correspondent in a telephone chat about the lavish life style of Nigeria celebrities, the PDP chieftain wondered what is the essence of Nigerian celebrities buying and displaying million dollar cars in their garage without driving them.
He said: “I am not disputing the fact that they have the right to spend their hard earn money they way they want. But what is the essence of all this show of luxury cars, jets, houses and others online when millions of Nigeria are suffering? Is it to oppress the poor or impress the rich? There is no one single company or industry attached to their names, even with all the money they have access to yet these are funds made through streaming from the poor.
“How many companies have they establish to create employment for the unemployed multitude in Nigeria? None. Can you compare them to Akon of Senegal? Akon has the largest solar company in Africa that has created employment for his people.
“They are not as wealthy as Kante, Sadio Mane and other African celebrities. These African celebrities do not live luxury life style like that of Nigerians. They have built hospital, schools, companies, estates etc in their countries. What has our own celebrities done in our own country rather than to show up with million Dollars luxurious cars and private jets among others.
“Nigeria celebrities are billionaire without enterprise. Not one global Africa record label or one proper music amphtheater or venue own by any of them. These celebrities preach about bad governance and all in Nigeria. They have made so much money that they do not know what to do with it. Yet they cannot give back to the poor.
“They should use the money to better the lives of the people since they claim they love the people so much in their music. If the government see them fixing things single handedly in the country, it will spark a positive change in them.”
