Though it was a completely sold out concert, Shatta Wale sparked a bit of controversy when

he referred to Ghana as a village on stage.

Whiles performing his numerous hit songs, the artiste paused and told his fans that they

should disregard any negatives news about him on the internet which emanates from Ghana.

He went further by ordering the fans to repeat after him that “Ghana is a village”, to which

they duly obliged.

“Shatta Wale is a very nice guy, all that you read on Google from Ghana [are not true]. Ghana is village, say Ghana is a village, say village,” he said, as the fans repeated after him.

media platforms to express their dislike at the ‘Gringo’ man’s comment.

In a tweet, he used a quote by former American President, John F. Kennedy, to advise the dance hall artiste.

“I’ll continue to #GhanaIsAVillage until I start seeing change .., yes I craze .. Wetin better, country wey hospitals no get bed, Roads all spoil,if leader sick either dem fly out or chopper picks them during accidents ,where the ambulances Dey .. We Dey Village stop the nonsense,” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, Shatta who has explained that his reason for calling Ghana a village is premised on

the fact that Ghana is under-developed and the leaders care less about the country’s well-being.

However, EL believes instead of expecting leaders to change the ills of the country, Shatta

Wale should be proactive by taking a step in effecting a change that will benefit Ghana.

“Consider this Dear brother @shattawalegh Ask not what your country can do for you. Rather ask what you can do for your country – JFK,” he wrote.
