Introduction
Nigerian artist Mr Real has voiced alarm about escalating insecurity nationwide and the surge of residents relocating to Lagos State.
He noted that many citizens now regard Lagos as the safest haven, prompting them to flee their home states due to fear of assaults and instability.
He remarked, “Lagos is becoming overcrowded. Everyone is abandoning their hometowns and moving to Lagos State, convinced it offers the greatest safety.”
Mr Real added that ongoing criminal acts and violent assaults in various localities continue to drive people away from their residences and livelihoods.
Call to Action
The musician urged President Bola Tinubu and other governmental leaders to promptly tackle the nation’s security dilemmas before they deteriorate further.
He warned, “Bandits and terrorists are presently pursuing individuals, and they may soon trail them to Lagos as well. We need our President and fellow officials to act on this insecurity.”
Public Reaction
His comments have fueled ongoing online discussions concerning insecurity, internal migration, and safety worries throughout Nigeria.
