Skales Criticizes Nigerians Turning to Activists for Justice Instead of Government
Nigerian musician Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, better known as Skales, has voiced his concerns about the growing mistrust in the government.
In a post on his X handle, the singer shared his thoughts on the unfortunate reality that many citizens now feel more inclined to turn to fellow citizens, like activist VeryDarkMan (VDM), rather than government institutions for justice.
Skales expressed his disbelief, writing, “It’s crazy what is going on in Nigeria … imagine a situation where citizens can’t turn to the government for help but instead reach out to someone like VDM for justice.
It’s a sad state of affairs, but God bless and protect him.”
Activists like VeryDarkMan have emerged as voices of reason and action, often stepping in where the government falls short.
VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken advocacy on social issues, has gained significant recognition for his efforts to expose injustices and hold those in power accountable.
Nigerian singer BNXN has made a claim online that has generated mixed reactions. The singer stated that living in Lagos is more expensive than living in Los Angeles, drawing from his personal experience in the United States.
Speaking about life abroad, BNXN explained that there are fewer financial obligations and requests for money compared to Nigeria, where people are often expected to support relatives and acquaintances.
“I was telling someone, since I got to the United States, I haven’t seen one egbon adugbo asking me to press money. Lagos is too expensive abeg. Lagos is more expensive than LA (Los Angeles),” BNXN stated.
It can be recalled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has filed charges against Blessing CEO over an alleged ₦13 million fraud case.
The case is reportedly linked to claims that the influencer obtained ₦13 million through an alleged cancer-related fundraising scheme.
It can also be recalled that Blessing CEO previously claimed she was battling Stage 4 breast cancer, a revelation that drew sympathy from many people and reportedly led to financial support from members of the public.
While investigations are still ongoing, the influencer remains innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James celebrated her 31st birthday and shared pictures on social media with her daughter.
The influencer spoke about how her life has changed and described motherhood as the greatest gift she has received.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.”
“Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.”
