Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has said politicians should not be blamed for the woes of Ghanaians.
He stated that many Ghanaians have a lazy mindset and they not take up opportunities.
The Shatta Movement boss said he sometimes laugh when politicians are blamed.
“Sometimes, when we blame the politicians, I laugh. Politicians are doing everything they can to work as politicians. It’s just that when you’re lazy in your mind and you don’t know how to take advantage of opportunities yourself, you will always be talking about politicians.
“Politicians are like cartels with how they run things. It’s not that they’re disrespecting the people; they promise, and you vote for them. But when they go to the white man and take money from them, the white man thinks that they will use it to provide jobs for the youth. They don’t know that the politician will take that money and give it to cheap labour, those from the rural areas,” he said in an interview with 3 Music.

Shatta Wale added: “They know that those who went to tertiary institutions will not apply. Our politicians have realised that the youth want flashy things and to wear suits. They don’t want to go into construction. But there’s a lot of money in construction.”
He also advised the youth to stop waiting for the government to fix their problems by being more proactive and creative.
