Nigerian media personality GehGeh has expressed concern over how Nigerian youths and security operatives are reacting to issues involving insecurity and leadership in the country.
The social commentator shared his thoughts in a statement posted on his official social media page.
In the post, GehGeh drew comparisons between recent events in South Africa and the current situation in Nigeria, arguing that South African citizens appear to be more organized and united in addressing national issues.
“Look how the people of South Africa came out to do the mission and their government supported them at a low level. You see their police supporting them.
“But here in Nigeria, our police are looking for yahoo boys and private cooks and the youths are not even ready to stand up to take back their country from these evil politicians,” the statement read.
In other news… A Nigerian woman has gone viral after she stated that public reactions to insecurity in the country would be completely different if an Igbo man was currently in office as president.
The woman stated this during an online debate on insecurity and national leadership, where she accused many Nigerians, including religious leaders, of remaining silent despite worsening security challenges across the country.
According to her, influential people who are usually outspoken in times of national crisis have suddenly become silent because of the current political leadership.
She said:
“If an Igbo man was the president of the country and the country was facing the level of insecurity we have now, Nigerians would have flooded the streets in protest.”
She also added:
“The pastors and papa G.Os used to call him names from the pulpit, but now everyone has gone dumb and shut up. Everyone knows what they’re doing.”
Her comments quickly went viral online, sparking intense conversations about ethnicity, politics, religion and the responsibilities of leadership in Nigeria.
While some social media users agreed with her claims, arguing that ethnic sentiments often influence political criticism in Nigeria, others disagreed and insisted that insecurity is a lingering national problem regardless of who is in the presidency.
The debate has also reignited conversations about the role of religious leaders during national crises, with many Nigerians questioning whether some influential voices speak selectively based on political interests or ethnicity.
Nigeria has continued to witness ongoing debates on leadership, insecurity and ethnic representation, particularly during periods of increased violence and economic hardship.
