Nigerian media figure GehGeh has voiced concerns over how Nigerian youths and security operatives react to matters involving insecurity and leadership in the country.
The social commentator shared his opinion in a statement published on his official social media page.
In the post, GehGeh drew comparisons between recent events in South Africa and the current situation in Nigeria, claiming that South African citizens appeared to be more organised and united in handling national issues.
“See how South African people came out to carry out a mission and their government supported them on the low. You see their police force supporting them, too.
“But here in Nigeria, our police are looking for yahoo boys and private Chef girls, and the youths are not even ready to stand up to take back their country from these evil politicians,” the statement read.
In other news… A Nigerian lady has gone viral after claiming that public reactions to insecurity in the country would have been completely different if an Igbo man was currently serving as president.
The woman made the statement during an online discussion on insecurity and national leadership, where she accused many Nigerians, including religious leaders, of remaining silent despite worsening security challenges across the country.
According to her, influential figures who are usually outspoken during periods of national crisis have suddenly become quiet because of the current political leadership.
She said:
“If it was an Igbo man that was the president of the country and the country was facing this level of insecurity we have now, Nigerians would have flooded the streets with protest.”
She further added:
“Pastors and Daddy G.Os would have been calling him names from the pulpit, but now all of them have gone mute and silent. Everybody knows what they are doing.”
Her comments quickly gained traction online, triggering intense conversations about ethnicity, politics, religion, and leadership accountability in Nigeria.
While some social media users agreed with her claims, arguing that ethnic sentiments often influence political criticism in Nigeria, others disagreed and insisted that insecurity has remained a long-standing national problem regardless of who occupies the presidency.
The debate also reignited conversations about the role of religious leaders during national crises, with many Nigerians questioning whether some influential voices selectively speak out depending on political interests or ethnic affiliations.
Nigeria has continued to witness recurring debates over leadership, insecurity, and ethnic representation, especially during periods of rising violence and economic hardship.
