Nigerian Singer & Producer 'J Martins' Says He is Almost Broke, And He Blames it on President Buhari

-

Last week,Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde called out the Lagos State Government over the erratic electricity bill and taxes sent to her, and now singer J Martins has taken to Instagram to lament how the present administration has left him almost broke.

“I’ve spent almost 9 times my planned budget for 3 months in 2 weeks, with no corresponding increase in income,” the ‘Touchin Body’ singer said, adding, “If I’m expected to act like its absolutely normal and keep mum for fear of being branded anti-Buhari, or a wailer. Hell NO! I won’t.”

For Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, she called PHCN’ One of the biggest frauds in Nigeria’, and said that most homes in the Ikeja area of Lagos have no metre, yet residents are barraged with high bills.

“This Lagos Govt talking about taxes and persecuting people and what rubbish? Are you kidding me?” Jalade-Ekeinde said. “I pay my taxes, buy my own security, generators, fuel, road and many more…are you going to refund me?”

Now, J Martins has joined in the cause, with fans rallying for a protest, just as Ekeinde’s is set to kick off. This leaves us wondering how long it would take before the ticking bomb goes off.

Read J Martin’s note:

“Ladies & gentlemen of the Federal Republic, complaining about the present situation of things in the country doesn’t make one anti-Buhari/APC or pro-GEJ/PDP.

For all you partisan voltrons, not everyone is into your hypocracy filled pontifications of party ideology, cause in all honesty, you people have none.

Many of us just want light, fuel, friendly business clime, better health, agriculture & educational infrastructures, and a better country, generally.

I’m willing to give the government time to correct things, but the government has to give me a timeline, the wait can not be endless. Kindly give us a timetable. We have seen many that never came to fruition, but just give us schedule to work with please.

I’ve spent almost 9 times my planned budget for 3 months in 2 weeks, with no corresponding increase in income.

If I’m expected to act like its absolutely normal and keep mum for fear of being branded anti-Buhari, or a wailer. Hell NO! I won’t.

In this part of the world, most upcoming Artist are mentally lazy and very impatient, they want everything to roll in very fast and not put in the required energy to grow their fanbase. Some even go as far as buying followers on social media just to look a bit successful. Most of our Artist are living a life of deception just to fit into the set industry standards. Original Artists understand what it means to start from the scratch and build loyal following. Most of these followers connect to their music and follow up with the entire growth process of the brand . It's better to have 100 loyal followers than to have to have 10k followers that can't support your music .  Are you an upcoming Artist reading this or watching the video.
