Muyiwa Awoniyi, the manager of Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has advised young Nigerians not to rely on the government for their future.
In a post on his X handle, Awoniyi stated, “Nigeria has no plans for you,” sparking widespread debate among social media users.
While some agreed with his stance, others argued that it is flawed to expect everything from the government instead of actively contributing to nation-building.
His statement comes amid growing concerns over Nigeria’s economic and social challenges. Recently, singer Rema also shared his thoughts on the situation, admitting that many young Nigerians feel disillusioned with the country.
However, Rema urged youths not to give up, emphasizing that nation-building is a shared responsibility between the government and citizens. He pledged to continue contributing to Nigeria’s development in his own way.
