Don’t risk your life or kill your own people for the U.S, France and corrupt African politicians – Wanlov tells GAF

A Ghanaian-Romanian artist by the name of Wanlov the Kubolor has issued a warning to the Ghanaian military force that is going to be deployed as part of the ECOWAS troop to deal with the coup in Niger. He has urged them not to put their lives in danger by participating in this endeavor.

Wanlov's perspective, which he expressed in a video and which was supported by the likes of Sarkodie, stems from his worry about the possible danger that the Ghanaian armed force may face if they were to become involved in a fight in Niger. Wanlov's perspective was backed by the likes of Sarkodie.

niger got rid of their akufu addo without a single life lost, and now you are going there to put their main problem back in power for france and america against the will of the people of niger to keep exploiting them anyhow," he captioned his thoughts in a video that he shared on Instagram. "don't risk your life or kill yor own people for these corrupt people oh!" I have to ask you for vim,"

According to the performer of "African Gypsy," rushing into military action without first taking into account the bigger dynamics at play could have negative consequences, and this is especially true if it involves fellow Africans fighting against one another.

Wanlov also made a passing reference to the fact that France, the country that ruled Niger during its time as a colony, maintains a substantial influence in the area. France is attempting to regain control of the situation in Niger by suing the ECOWAS troops, which will unintentionally contribute to the perpetuation of cycles of manipulation and exploitation.

"Chale, what's going on, this is Kubolor. I have a message for the Ghana Army. He said, "I beg you guys to not put your lives in danger and go fight fellow black people in Niger because you will be fighting for Macron." "I beg you guys to not put your lives in danger and go fight fellow black people in Niger."

Wanlov brought attention, throughout the video, to the exploitative and deceptive strategies that had been used historically by European conquerors, notably France, against people of color.

He said that the continued exploitation of Africa and its people by forces from outside the continent should not result in the people of Africa being pitted against one another.

The request made by Wanlov also alluded to the intricate nature of international relations as well as the difficulties that African countries confront when attempting to navigate a post-colonial world.

He went even further to acknowledge the suspected corruption within Niger's leadership, but he also underlined the significance of understanding the wider situation before taking harsh moves.

The facts indicate that the leaders of Niger are corrupt, which is why the population of Niger opted to remove their leader from power. he said this in Ghanaian pidgin English. "and so going to fight in Niger will rather be encouraging bad leadership and manipulation by the whites."

The recent military takeover in Niger, which resulted in the removal of the country's president who had been duly elected by the people, has attracted attention to the continued involvement of former colonial powers in the politics of African nations.
