Afrobeats singer Skales has shared his take on why Nigeria boasts a lower crime rate compared to the UK.
In a recent interview on Just Vibes, Skales revealed that criminals in Nigeria are deterred by the fear of extrajudicial punishments, like jungle justice.
He noted that people in Nigeria know that if they’re caught committing crimes, they risk facing violent retribution, which makes them less daring than criminals in the UK.
However, Skales quickly clarified that he doesn’t endorse jungle justice due to its unlawful nature.
In the same interview, Skales tackled the topic of Afrobeats.
He explained that defining a single sound for the genre is difficult because it encompasses a wide range of musical styles, not just one.
Skales stressed that Afrobeats is constantly evolving, with various artists adding their unique flavors, which enhances the genre’s global reach and influence.
Skales’ comments spark a thought-provoking conversation about crime deterrence in Nigeria.
While he acknowledges that extrajudicial punishments contribute to a lower crime rate, he also highlights the need for a more lawful approach.
His insights into Afrobeats further emphasize the genre’s dynamic growth, shaped by its diverse influences and artists pushing its boundaries.
