Muyiwa Awoniyi, manager of Grammy-winning artist Tems, recently ignited discussions on social media by asserting that “Nigeria has no plans for you.” This statement, shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, has resonated with many young Nigerians who feel marginalized by the current system. While some agree with Awoniyi’s perspective, others believe that citizens should actively participate in nation-building rather than solely relying on government initiatives.
This sentiment echoes recent remarks by musician Rema, who acknowledged the challenges facing Nigeria but urged youths not to lose faith, emphasizing that both citizens and the government share responsibility for the country’s development.
The conversation sparked by Awoniyi’s comment highlights the ongoing debate about the role of government and individual agency in shaping Nigeria’s future.
