Veteran Nigerian musician, Innocent Onyebuchi, popularly known as Daddy Fresh, says his newly released song, ‘Erora’, seeks to address societal issues and create monumental change in the country.
Daddy Fresh, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos, said there was a need to redefine humanity and integrity in the country.

He said: “Erora came about because of the happenings in our great Nigeria, a whole lot of things are going on from inflation, corruption, killings, kidnapping, banditry, high cost of living, schools on strike, and so on.
“A whole lot of children are on the street because of the poor standard of living, and even the minimum wage is not even enough to do anything.
“The masses are the ones suffering. Look at the cost of fuel and gas today, everything is just skyrocketing by the day.
“When you listen to the news, most of the things you hear are always very heartbreaking.
“The governments are not putting much effort to curb this. So many youths today that is graduates have nothing tangible to do.
“You know what they say, that evil communication corrupts good manners. The good ones are getting worse because of the corrupt nature of the society.”
Daddy Fresh said he decided to make a song so that the leaders will understand that the masses are suffering.
“I am just the voice to the suffering voiceless. We have to speak up. We need to make the right choice when the election comes,” he said.
Daddy Fresh said that the message in the song was to sensitise the people on happenings in the country and how it could be stabilised.
“This is terrible and not healthy for the country. We also have different crises going on, political, religious, and tribal crises, which will take us nowhere, how do we curb this?
“In some states in Nigeria, even during the day is a nightmare for them. They don’t sleep with their eyes closed. They are always afraid that something might happen.
“They should give listening hears to their people and do the needful so that we can have a better society.
“It is about time we wake up to reality and fix things up in our country,” he said.
He advised Nigerians to speak up for what they truly wanted as the 2023 general elections draw near. (NAN)
