Indigenous Hip Hop artiste, Idowest, has announced that he now wishes to identify as an Igbo person despite being Yoruba by birth.
The rapper whose real name is Adekunle Idowu stated this while lamenting about how some of his tribesme are supporting the administration of President Bola Tinubu despite the hardship in the country.
In a post on his social media page, the DMW signee claimed those opposing the planned #EndBadGovernance’ were selling their future because of one dollar.
Idowest claimed that the problem with Nigeria is the citizens which is why as people are planning to protest over ba governance, others are staging counter-protests.
He wrote on Snapchat: “Your papa vote for Tinubu, you join say no to protest, you con get mind bill me. Onijere aye ati orun. Bad governance! Imagine Yoruba screaming Yoruba all in the name of Yoruba! Eti yawerey. From now on I be Igbo.
“Una dey sell una future cos of 1 dollar. OK. Na Nigerians be Nigeria problems! While some people are planning a peaceful protest, some useless citizens don plan say no to protest. Tori 1500 naira ede beru olohun ebi apa! Say no to protest bawo. Tori 1500 naira aye yin ti baje.”

Meanwhile, in another news…
Few months ago, elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark issued a warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to toe the path of his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari who marginalised the Igbos.
The leader of the Ijaw Nation pointed out that Buhari for reasons best known to him, excluded the South-East from major appointments during his administration.
He expressed concern that Tinubu had also allegedly started to show the same trait and called on him to retrace his steps.
Clark wrote: “President Buhari did everything to subjugate the Igbo for reason best known to him. Perhaps it may be necessary to cite some examples. The NNPC board, which he constituted when he came into office, had nine members, one from the South-West, one from the South-South, and no member from the South-East, even though three South-East states – Abia, Anambra and Imo – are oil-producing states. The remaining members, including his Chief of Staff, came from the North, a non-oil-producing region.
“Mr President [Tinubu], even in your administration, the discrimination and injustice against the Igbo has not abated. The old Eastern Region and the old Western Region, to which I belonged, were equal competitors and partners before and during the First and Second Republic but today, you have appointed 10 Yorubas as ministers from the South-West, and only five ministers from the South-East, and you even failed to give them the ministerial appointment due to their region that would have made it six ministers.”
