Top Nigerian singer and music producer, Samuel Oguachuba, aka Samklef, has lashed out on people who think he is living on past glory.

In an interview with Sunday Scoop, Samklef stated that those who describe him as a blogger are slaves who lack enlightenment

“Nigerians like to focus on other people’s business. I am still an artist and producer. I started blogging because of the one-sidedness of the industry, so I created my own news platform. I have a platform where I can speak and that is why people can listen to me now. My blog is a conscious one. I say things as they are. If you are my friend and you do something wrong, I would call you out. My blog is like the voice of Fela but in written form.

There is nothing like past glory. There is no how you would talk about a thing without referring to its history. I did it (music) and I was successful. That is part of my story and no one can take it away. People who say I live on past glory have the minds of slaves because they are not enlightened. What they cannot build, they want to pull down.”

The music producer also spoke about his relationship with Grammy-winning artist Wizkid. Samklef produced most of the songs on Wizkid’s debut album, “Superstar”, but they later fell out.

“Wizkid and I had an issue and it was settled. He even invited me to his concert in 2017 and I was on stage with him. You won’t be with someone you’re having issues with. People only want to see the negative side of things; they don’t want to see the good aspects. Wizkid and I don’t have issues anymore.”

While speaking, Samklef maintained that artists in the country were not doing enough in using their talent to speak the truth. He stressed that artists need to use their platform to speak for the truth, while they shun politicians.

“Nigerian artists are not doing enough to speak for the people. They are all silent. It is either they are afraid of being picked up by the DSS, or they just don’t care. The same thing happened in Fela’s time. Fela was the only one speaking out, while other musicians were quiet. And because of lack of information, many people did not know what was going on. Musicians need to use their platforms and stay away from politicians for now.” He said.
