Nigerian music superstar, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, has added his voice to the growing concerns about the state of the nation, urging leaders to prioritize the safety and development of young people.
In a post shared on his official X page, the “Calm Down” crooner stressed that Nigeria’s greatness is directly tied to how well it protects and empowers its youth.
He wrote:
“Until they protect the youths and allow them to grow into their full potential, Nigeria will never be truly great.”
Rema’s statement comes at a time when the country is reeling from heightened insecurity, mass abductions, economic hardship, and rising tension. His comment reflects the frustration of millions of young Nigerians who feel increasingly unsafe and undervalued in a system they believe offers little opportunity for growth.
The 24-year-old superstar, who has consistently used his platform to spotlight social issues, reminded the government that the youth remain the engine of innovation, culture, and national progress. According to him, investing in their safety and future is the only path to a truly prosperous Nigeria.
Fans flooded his page with mixed reactions, some praising him for speaking up, while others urged more celebrities to use their influence to demand accountability from leaders.
As Nigeria continues to grapple with mounting crises, Rema’s message adds to a growing chorus of voices calling for urgent reforms that prioritize the nation’s biggest demographic: its youth.
