South Sudanese singer John Frog Expressed disappointment over artists still being ignored when it comes to meeting their own president in South Sudan.
Mean while in countries such as Uganda , Kenya , Tanzania and other African countries its quite easy to access and submit issues of concern.
“ How can we talk about the development of the music industry when the very people carrying South Sudan’s image across Africa are denied even a simple audience?
John Frog as an Artist has pushed culture, promoted peace, entertained the nation, and raised the flag beyond borders… yet he still can’t sit down with the president to discuss how music can grow, create jobs, and empower the youth.
That’s painful. That’s discouraging. Artists are not asking for money. Artists are not asking for money. They are asking for a chance to talk, to present ideas that can transform the creative industry into something bigger and better.
John Frog even said, “Soldiers in J1 should see this,” because the truth needs to reach where decisions are made. The music industry deserves respect and Artists deserve access.
Several celebrities and influencer also agreed to John Frogs issues of concern.
Mc Lumoex also pointed an example: Legend General Paulino more than 40 years in the music industry as an Artist hasn’t met the head of state. This is just one legend I am talking about amongst many others. This will make u understand John Frog post well.
Menimeen of coozos clan said, Many South Sudanese artists, even myself included, have stood by this government over the years. We have campaigned openly, created messages of hope, produced campaign songs, dramas, and mobilized communities—entirely free of charge. To this day, we have not been compensated. Yet while many groups have been recognized and rewarded with government positions, the artistic community remains completely excluded.
Those who said Emmanuel Kembe, John Kudusay, Gordon Koang, Johnson Jock lal met with the president should provide the evidence of their Pictures with President.. I don’t talk about what I don’t know .
