Renowned Nigerian rapper Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has appealed to citizens to reject tribal and religious divisions eroding national unity. His statement follows intense social media clashes among Nigerian youths after former US President Donald Trump threatened military intervention in Nigeria.
Trump’s controversial threat, framed as protection for Nigerian Christians against alleged extremist attacks, ignited renewed tensions online. The declaration fueled religious rivalry among young social media users across the country.
Falz urged Nigerians to transcend divisive sentiments and cultivate independent thinking. He expressed disappointment at how identity politics continues to fracture national cohesion years after independence.
“The persistent use of tribal and religious divisions to pit Nigerians against each other is deeply depressing,” Falz stated. “We must eventually learn to think independently rather than follow destructive narratives.”
Joining this call for unity, popular skit maker Nasboi encouraged citizens to prioritize governance issues over identity divisions. He challenged Nigerians to demand accountability from leaders regarding corruption and mismanagement.
Nasboi voiced frustration over public silence on corruption scandals. He referenced unresolved cases of missing public funds that have drawn little national outrage despite their impact on development.
