Ghanaian Reggae/Dancehall artiste Stonebwoy has emphasized the importance of citizens recognizing their role and being more involved in the governance of a country.

According to him, every individual is an integral part of their government and society, and they all have a part to play in addressing the challenges faced by African nations and third-world countries.

Stonebwoy made these remarks during an interview on Paris-based France24, where he discussed using his music as a tool to unify people.

"We are all already a part of the government. A nation cannot function without people understanding that they are part of the government. I use my music as a means to unite and spread a message," he stated.

"I address common issues that occur in Africa, specifically in Ghana, but these issues reflect and amplify those faced by other third-world countries.

"We need to recognize the challenges we face, amplify them, and make significant changes," he added.

Regarding his impact as a musician in Africa, Stonebwoy acknowledged his responsibility and expressed joy in unifying Africans through his music.

"It is a great honor to carry such a responsibility, representing the people of Africa within the continent, diaspora, and humanity as a whole, as we are all one people.

"Using music as a talent and tool to unify humanity, especially black people on the continent, brings me immense joy. It gives me a sense of responsibility and usefulness," he concluded.
