Damini Ogulu professionally known as Burna Boy has demanded the unity of African countries …
.
The ‘Ye’ crooner made this call in a recent interview with CNN, noting that African countries may only achieve the respect they seek if they band together.
.
Burna also said that he wished every country on the continent were using a single passport for international travels.He added; “It cannot be achieved by the way it’s been going, we’ve been falling for a long time so why not try something new?
.
“It’s just a wish, maybe a farfetched wish. I wish we had one passport which would make it easier for Africans to travel outside the continent. I wish we could be considered as the United States, like the way America is … (Let’s say) me and you want to go to Spain or wherever on a commercial flight — let’s see who gets in first.”
.
When asked who should be on the currency of this “United Africa,” Burna said; “On the currency should be people who have had these ideas for generations, who have died with these ideas and have been killed for these ideas. People like Moammar Gadhafi [former leader of Libya who was overthrown and assassinated in 2011] whose everything was about uniting Africa and having one currency, backed by gold.”
