Renowned Nigerian rapper, Vector Tha Viper, has called on fellow celebrities to take a stand against bad governance, emphasizing the long-term impact it could have on everyone, including the influential figures themselves.
In a compelling message shared on his X formally (Twitter) handle, Vector warned about the potential repercussions of ignoring the struggles faced by the general populace.
Vector’s post read: “To the celebrities taking sides against the reality of their own people/fans, it may be best to repent before you become the only reachable option if the hardship doesn’t stop. Stop supporting bad governance.”
This strong statement reflects his concern about the ongoing nationwide protests against the severe economic hardships currently gripping Nigeria.
The protests have been fueled by widespread frustration over inflation, unemployment, and a lack of basic services. Citizens are voicing their dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, and Vector’s message serves as a reminder of the crucial role celebrities play in shaping public opinion and advocating for positive change.
Vector’s plea is a timely reminder for celebrities to leverage their influence responsibly. As public figures with substantial followings, their support or opposition can significantly impact societal movements and policy changes. By denouncing bad governance, celebrities can align themselves with the needs and aspirations of their fans, who are often directly affected by government policies.
