Popular Nigerian rapper, Olanrewaju Ogunmefun, popularly known as Vector, has advised Nigerian youths against gang clashes.
Vector’s statement is coming on the heels of cult clashes that was reported in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) a couple of months ago that left over 20 people killed.
According to news report, Nigerians resident in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE) got into bloody fights that ended in multiple deaths. The fight was between two rival Nigerian cult groups.
A footage had shown a group armed with machetes arriving at an apartment complex in Sharjah. Upon arrival, they kicked a door open and went in to attack the occupants.
Other videos showed the aftermath of the attack, with mutilated bodies lying on the floor of a narrow hallway.
The rapper, Vector, admonished members of any gang reading his post to exit the cult groups as soon as possible so as to avoid untimely death.
His Instagram post read, “Gang clashes are stupid it has always been and will always be. “The leader of the men of freedom” are ignoring their responsibilities in sharing orientation of true purpose. You wey follow check yourself”.
Vector further stated that, “if them kill you, you go like am? Let’s make it clear that the killing of youth by the youth is a horrible idea. If you belong to a gang and you are reading this, know that killing each other doesn’t make you harder or rugged.”
“If anything it makes you a destroyer of life and purpose. You too will open your mouth and say “Nigeria don spoil finish”…. Wetin make you different from the people wey dey spoil am because Nigerians be Nigeria,” he said.
“If you are truly a free man, we will know by how many men you influence out of the mental slavery around. If you have a argument that the people I’m talking to are not here, you can share where you know they are.”
