We haven't said much in this nation. recollecting tales such as "money being swallowed by a snake." Since they are too busy stealing money to finish on earth, these politicians truly take us for granted. It's time to prioritize this nation over our tribes and religions.

Nigerian rapper, actor, and human rights activist Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has urged Nigerians to think for themselves and stop allowing politicians to divide them along tribal and religious lines.
Falz made this statement while reacting to a post by fellow entertainer Nasboi, who called on Nigerians to unite and hold their leaders accountable rather than fighting one another over tribal and religious differences.
Reacting, Falz wrote:
“I cannot begin to explain how depressing it has been in recent years, seeing tribal and religious sentiments still being used to turn us against each other. At some point, we need to start thinking for ourselves.”
The award-winning rapper said it was deeply saddening to see Nigerians remain divided over religion and ethnicity, even as politicians continue to exploit such divisions for personal gain.
Falz’s comments come amid the ongoing supremacy debate between Christian and Muslim youths on social media, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s alleged threat to take military action against Nigeria to rescue Christians from reported attacks by Islamic extremists.
Over the years, Falz has been vocal about issues affecting the country, often using his platform to advocate for unity, accountability, and good governance.
