Nigerian Afrobeats sensation Omah Lay has declared that spiritual interventions alone will not resolve Nigeria’s deep-seated problems. He recently shared his strong views online. His message was direct: “NO JESUS, NO ALLAH, NO PRAYER IS SAVING US. NOTHING CHANGES UNTIL WE WAKE TF UP 🇳🇬💔.” His statement underscores a growing sentiment that concrete action is needed.
Omah Lay’s comments emerged amidst a wave of celebrity reactions to increasing violence across the nation. Notable incidents include the attack on a church in Kwara State and the distressing kidnapping of schoolgirls in Kebbi State. These events have reignited public discourse on national security.
Celebrities Call for Action
Several other prominent artistes have also voiced their concerns. Figures like Don Jazzy, Davido, Falz, and Mr Macaroni have collectively called on authorities. They demand immediate and decisive action to safeguard Nigerian citizens.
In a related development, singer Yemi Alade shared a different perspective. She openly opposed calls for foreign intervention in Nigeria’s security matters. Alade emphasized that African nations must prioritize solving their own internal security challenges. Relying on external forces, she argued, might not be the most sustainable solution.
Adding to the conversation, Nollywood actress Bolaji Ogunmola expressed profound concern. She spoke about the escalating killings across Nigeria and the severe impact on family safety. Ogunmola revealed her personal dilemma. She admitted to considering leaving Nigeria at times.
However, she feels unable to depart because her entire family remains within the country. The actress described Nigeria as her beloved home and her place of origin. Despite acknowledging the numerous challenges, she declared her unbreakable ties to her roots.
