Nigerian rapper and actor Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has openly criticized the increasing tribal and religious divisions in the country. Recently, he responded to a call encouraging Nigerians to unite beyond ethnic and religious lines while holding their leaders accountable.
Falz expressed his frustration, noting that politicians and influential figures often exploit tribal and religious sentiments to create conflict. Consequently, these manipulations have deepened societal divisions, leaving many citizens feeling powerless and divided.
Furthermore, Falz emphasized that Nigerians must start thinking independently instead of allowing themselves to be manipulated based on ethnicity or faith. “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,” he said.
His statement comes amid social media debates between Christian and Muslim youths, sparked by reports that former U.S. President Donald Trump allegedly threatened military action against Nigeria over attacks on Christians by extremists. By highlighting these tensions, Falz stressed the urgent need for unity, awareness, and critical thinking among citizens.
Ultimately, Falz encouraged Nigerians, particularly the youth, to rise above divisive tactics and work together for national progress. He urged everyone to reject manipulation, embrace independent thought, and focus on building a more cohesive society.
Falz’s remarks remind Nigerians that tribal and religious divisions hinder national growth. By advocating for unity, independent thinking, and collective responsibility, he inspires citizens to prioritize solidarity and resist forces that aim to divide the nation.
