The international artiste popularly known as Wizkid took to his verified Twitter handle to disclose this after some Nigerian celebrities on like Genevieve Nnaji and Tiwa Savage decried the recent killings in the country.

According to the Tweet he posted in pidgin English, “Police dey kill black Americans and Naija police dey kill Nigerians. No man fit sort this matter. God save us” he tweeted

He went on to say both presidents are clueless but the difference is that one knows how to use Twitter better.

He tweeted: “Buhari/Trump same person lol only difference be say one sabi use twitter pass the other. Clueless!” he wrote.

Meanwhile, Grammy award-winning songstress, Lady Gaga has slammed President Trump calling him a ‘racist’ and a ‘fool’ in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd.

“We have known for a long time that President Trump has failed. He holds the most powerful office in the world, yet offers nothing but ignorance and prejudice while black lives continue to be taken.

We have known he is a fool, and a racist, since he took office. He is fueling a system that is already rooted in racism, and racist activity, and we can all see what is happening.

It’s time for a change. I urge people to speak gently to each other, speak with passion, inspiration, and impress the importance of this issue until the systems that keep us sick die, instead of people we love” she wrote on Twitter.
