‘People who believe in ‘Japa’ movement are poor’, Seun Kuti claims

Nigerian singer Seun Kuti, has spoken about the ‘Japa’ movement claiming that it is mostly influenced by poverty. The artist, while speaking during a livestream, explained that most Nigerians to work towards migrating only do so because they are poor.

While mocking Wizkid’s fan base popularly known as FC, Seun regarded them as poor and mentally challenged. He claimed that their mindset and ideologies are shaped by poverty, adding that their condition is the reason they aspire to flee the country.

“Most of these FC are poor. They are poor children that grew up in poor homes. I cannot blame you because if you grew up in a poor home in Nigeria, there is no how your brain is fully formed. The biggest example of people who grew up in poor homes are the people that believe in Japa. If you believe in japa, it’s because you grew up in a poor home. There’s nobody who grew up in a better house who will japa. You can travel and come back,” he stated.
