AFRO-RETRO act and soulful storyteller, Ibejii is using his voice to address and correct societal ills that have plagued the country in recent times.
Passionate about the message of change, the afro-styled loverman was seen holding a placard to express his concerns about certain issues that are taking a toll on individuals and the community at large. Top on the list is corruption and absence of accountability in government, suicide as well as Nigeria’s defective healthcare and law enforcement sectors.
Ibejii voiced his grievances by saying, “It is extremely essential that we talk about issues like these that are negatively impacting our society today. If not we artists then who? If not now, then when? The devastating effects of these ills cannot be overemphasized. This is not the time to be silent. We all must work together to bring about the social change that we want to see in our community”
Shining a light on the misappropriation of public funds and lack of accountability in governance; one of his placards read ” 120 Km should not take 20 years”
To address the alarming rate of suicidal attempts in the country, another placard bore the words ” Water is life, choose life, don’t jump.”
To draw attention to the substandard health care operations in the country, Ibejii is seen holding another placard that reads ”Police reports are medicine after death’
Ibejii, a folkloric story-teller with 3 studio albums including ‘Green White Dope 001,’ ‘Green White Dope 002’ and ‘Tribal Marks’ lends his voice to advocate against the menace and perils present in the society.
