Uganda’s Minister of Youth Affairs, Florence Nakiwala has told a 7-year-old rapper  Patrick Ssenyonjo popularly known by the stage name Fresh kid, to go back to school or get arrested. 

Florence Nakiwala gave the warning after it was alleged that Fresh kid was not attending school, and could perform late at night while his age mates were studying. The Youth minister who described this as child labour, warned the Ugandan 7-year-old to go back to school or get arrested and further taken to a juvenile prison.

"The constitution clearly states that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to work therefore Fresh kid should not be working rather be in school. Anyone found aiding his music career will have to face the law as well. I take this opportunity to warn all of you who are engaging children in things like this and renting them houses, you will also be arrested according to the law" she said.

Good development.

Honest truth. He should return to school simple as that.

He should do both, school and sing!

I don't have anything meaningful to contribute here

But she's right,because most of these kids turn stars don't end up well,imagining exposing a child to the world and street life,plus flashy life. Wen they get the money right u can't tell them something right.

If he's v.talented, d govt shld adopt him

Hahaha, the minister is so funny.

God cannot bless you enough for this sinaj. We can safely assume Afric is cursed with SENSELESS leaders! What happened to encouraging him to combine both? Encouraging his dreams?

The guy could become a great export for his country.

Well...

Even in USA they would tell me thesame thing but if it is Nigeria school don stop b that who cares

She is right... The government should also make basic education affordable.

Africa


Dream killers



Nonsense

I think she has a point sha

bbb

Nice responsible decision... A 7 year old without education will end up being exploited... He can still do it during holidays though but he needs to be protected....

5th world countries

African man mentality.

Toh ...in Nigeria, his colleague Ozzy Bosco is running things here with his parents in the tow

School nor be scam. Na Nigerian Education be scam

he needs education even if it is basic

talent is never appreciated here on the black soil

Well Said. The Kid Should Go Back To School And Get Education First Before Any Other Thing. Education Makes The Difference. He Should Be Ready To Spend Rest Of His Years In Prison If He Fails To Do That.
