- Popular rapper and activist Falz has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to resign.

Popular rapper and activist Folarin Falana, known as Falz, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step down, criticizing his handling of the country’s worsening security situation.
Falz highlighted what he sees as a double standard by sharing a 2014 tweet in which Tinubu demanded the resignation of then-President Goodluck Jonathan over terrorism. The rapper accused the current president of failing to safeguard citizens’ lives and property, despite previously appearing concerned.
“You have consistently shown your unwillingness to protect the lives and property of our people despite pretending to care in the past. Resign now!” Falz tweeted.
According to GistLover, Nigeria’s growing insecurity, particularly jihadist attacks targeting Christians, has increasingly drawn global attention.
At a UN event on Tuesday, alongside the US ambassador to the United Nations, Michael Waltz, international music star Nicki Minaj urged urgent measures to address the persecution of Nigerian Christians. She emphasized the need for peace, unity, and freedom of worship, and praised former US President Donald Trump for advocating on behalf of Nigerian Christians.

He said:
“My two aunties were kidnapped in this video, the old woman running slowly is my grandma…. Please @HQNigerianArmy @PoliceNG Help !!!!
Update this morning; My grandma seen struggling to run in the video wasn’t taken along with those who were kidnapped, Also it’s my biological aunt and my cousin (my other aunt’s son) who were kidnapped. Some people were killed however details of who isn’t clear yet. The town is in terror.
Please whilst we repost and tag let’s also pray… I know it seems as though we’ve been wasting our time praying, but please let’s not loose hope, regardless God is still on His throne.
If we all join our voices and cry out to him He’ll show up as the Lord of hosts.
I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help? My help comes from the Lord.
He is the helper of the helpless, we’re currently helpless, we’ve tried all we can in Nigeria, we’ve striked, protested, all we can do now is keep doing what we’ve been doing and also pray.
I am a Doctor in Plateau state Jos, I know the amount of people that have been treated in our facility as a result of assault by these terrorists,
People living in fear all the days of their lives,
People’s skull hacked like palm trees, people’s hands dangling with only but skin left to hold the limb.
This must end!!!”
