Tanzanian Singer, Diamond Platnumz Wants United African Artistes

Diamond Platnumz, a Tanzanian singer, who is gradually winning the hearts of some Nigerian artistes and fans, has charged African artistes to embrace unity within them. This, he said, would promote national unity and enrich international peace.

The singer, who has worked with Nigerian duo of Davido and Waje, questioned the activities of some artistes in Africa, urging them to stand up and defend their country rather than joining in the divide and rule syndrome.

“Instead of artists being role models and agents of unity, bringing our countries together to build a strong, prosperous peaceful continent, Africa, we are the first to instigate hate and regionalism.

“In this manner are we really building Africa? What is our fate? Continuing divide and rule inherited from the colonial era... Anyway, Happy Independence day Tanzania..... ( Badala ya wasanii kuwa ndio Mfano bora wa kuweka karibu Nchi zao na kujenga Africa yenye upendo na Amani...eti wao ndio Wanakua chanzo cha Kutenganisha nchi zao...Namna hii kweli tutajenga Africa? Anyway, Happy Independence day Tanzania....),” he said.© 2014Nollywoodgists.com
