Nigeria Vs South Africa - My take on the bolt war - Seun Kuti
In this YouTube video, Nigerian musician Seun Kuti shares his views on the recent "bolt war" between Nigeria and South Africa. The term "bolt war" refers to the controversy surrounding the ride-hailing company Bolt (formerly known as Taxify) and its operations in both countries.
Kuti begins by explaining the history of Bolt in Nigeria, where it was initially welcomed as a cheaper and more efficient alternative to traditional taxis. However, as the company expanded to other African countries, including South Africa, it faced backlash from local taxi drivers who saw it as a threat to their livelihoods.
Kuti argues that this conflict is not just about Bolt, but about the larger issue of economic exploitation and neo-colonialism. He believes that foreign companies like Bolt are able to operate in African countries because of corrupt and weak leadership, which allows them to exploit the local workforce and resources.
He also criticizes the media for portraying the conflict as a competition between Nigeria and South Africa, when in reality, it is a struggle between the working class and the elite. Kuti urges Africans to come together and fight against the exploitation of their continent by foreign companies.
In conclusion, Kuti emphasizes the need for unity and solidarity among African nations in order to resist and overcome the effects of neo-colonialism. He believes that only through collective action can Africans truly achieve economic independence and self-determination.
Overall, Seun Kuti’s take on the bolt war sheds light on the deeper issues at play and calls for a united front against exploitation and injustice in Africa.
