Friday, February 16, 2024 – Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has criticized the country's youth for adopting a lazy mindset and consistently blaming politicians instead of seizing available opportunities.
According
to him, the youth always blame politicians for their problems, but they are
unwilling to work hard or venture into sectors like construction where there is
a lot of money.
Shatta
Wale made these remarks during a live discussion on 3Music TV on February 16,
2024.
"Sometimes,
when we blame the politicians, I laugh. Politicians are doing everything they
can to work as politicians. It's just that when you're lazy in your mind and
you don't know how to take advantage of opportunities yourself, you will always
be talking about politicians," he said.
He
continued, "Politicians are like cartels with
how they run things. It's not that they're disrespecting the people; they
promise, and you vote for them. But when they go to the white man and take
money from them, the white man thinks that they will use it to provide jobs for
the youth. They don't know that the politician will take that money and give it
to cheap labor, those from the rural areas."
Shatta
Wale also expressed that the youth have a wrong mindset, desiring to wear suits
and drive expensive cars instead of investing in their skills and businesses.
"They
know that those who went to tertiary institutions will not apply. Our
politicians have realized that the youth want flashy things and to wear suits.
They don't want to go into construction. But there's a lot of money in
construction," he said.
The
self-styled Dancehall King advised the youth to be more proactive and creative
and to stop complaining about the government.
He
emphasized that the youth should learn from him, as he has made a name for
himself in the music industry through hard work and dedication.
