South African rapper, AKA, has added his voice to the recent happenings in Nigeria and in an attempt to do so has given the reason why African politicians dont care about the youth.

In a tweet, the rapper revealed that 60% of Africa’s population is made of the youth whose average age is 25. But the average of an African president is 78.

According to AKA, the politicians know they won’t live long to see this future, they do not care about it.

60% of Africa’s population is under 25 years old. The average age of its 10 oldest leaders is 78. The real reason they don’t give a shit about our futures is because they won’t be around to see it.
