Shatta Wale articulated, "I feel them dey take we do science. They want to know how we will think without internet. The internet is too much into people's heads and people are abusing it so they tried to shut it down for people to sleep. The problems on the internet are getting too much these days."

Highlighting the positive impact of the internet, particularly in his career, Shatta Wale emphasized the need for responsible usage.

He remarked, "People are mishandling the opportunities on the internet. Somebody like me, I tell people me getting here was the internet, so I make positive use of the internet. I think our leaders want to shape us and help us discipline our minds because the abuse on the internet is too much."

Coinciding with Shatta Wale's comments, a major internet disruption occurred across West and Central Africa, as reported by the Internet observatory, Netblocks. Multiple subsea cable failures were noted, impacting countries such as Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Liberia, Benin, Ghana, and Burkina Faso.
