Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold recently expressed his frustrations about life in Nigeria, stating that the environment can drain one’s excellence and make striving for success feel futile. He urged Nigerians to guard their passions fiercely and never settle for less.
His message resonated with many Nigerians, who shared their own challenges related to living and striving in the nation. One commenter noted, “They’ll tell you, speak positive things about Nigeria. What is positive that I can’t enjoy as a citizen too? Is this the way we get treated outside? The place we call home isn’t feeling like home at all? Nothing works.”
Another reflected, “Well it’s the place we tap initial energy and renew strength. Diamond doesn’t get excited in the fire. But it’s at best and it’s excellent on a pretty lady’s ring finger. That’s how I like to see this place. It’s not the best place to be but we’re usually better for it.”
Adekunle Gold’s sentiments highlight the challenges many face in Nigeria and underscore the importance of resilience and determination in pursuing one’s passions despite environmental obstacles.
