Nigerian celebrities have entered politics in recent years to demand justice and responsibility, moving beyond the realm of entertainment. Leading the charge is actor, rapper, and activist Falz, who gained reputation as one of Nigeria’s most outspoken political leaders during the #EndSARS demonstrations. His Moral Instruction serves as a rallying cry against social injustice and corruption in addition to being a compilation of songs. Falz has continuously used his position to spread the word about failed governments, police brutality, and the need for political reform, with other performers like Mr. Macaroni and Seun Kuti.
These activists are demonstrating that Nigerian celebrities are much more than just famous individuals—they are champions for the people, via peaceful protest leadership and the exposure of electoral anomalies. Their fortitude in the face of intimidation and criticism has only made them more determined to work toward improving Nigeria.
Will Nigeria’s political landscape finally undergo the much-needed shift in light of these fearless voices demanding change?
