‘Westerners Treat Us Anyhow, They Chased Asake Off The Stage At 02 Arena’ – Carter Efe

Nigerian skit maker cum singer, Oderhwo Joseph Efe, better known as Carter Efe, has lamented the unfair treatment of Westerners towards  Nigerians, yet they still return to them.

Naija News reports that Efe, in the latest episode of the Spill With Phyna Podcast, spoke about the ill-treatment Nigerians suffer from Western music executives and show promoters.

According to him, Grammy-nominated Nigerian singer, Asake, was chased off the stage during his concert at London’s O2 Arena last year.

He said, “The management of 02 Arena turned off the lights during Asake’s performance at the venue last year. Westerners treat us anyhow, and we still go back to them. They chased Asake off the stage. They put off the lights. I’m not lying.”

The host, Phyna, suggested that Nigerian singers should unite and organize concerts for fans in the country, but Carter Efe dismissed her suggestion because Nigeria lacks the facilities to host events of such magnitude.

Asake Is A Cool Guy, But I’m Not Romantically In Love With Him
