the ever-loud #FreeNnamdiKanuNow movement. Protesters gathered in Abuja demanding freedom for the Nnamdi Kanu and folks are not playing. Tear gas, roadblocks, videos on reels — the full movie. This isn’t just politics anymore; it’s personal and collective. People are chanting, posting, tagging: “we still dey here.”

Then there’s the #EndSARS energy resurrected — and the hashtag Lekki Toll Gate massacre creeping back into discussion. Nigerians are reminding the world: we remember. 2020 felt like yesterday for many, and social media is doubling as our megaphone and memorial.

Now for the rap wars: things between Blaqbonez and Odumodublvck have escalated from shade to full-on fire. It all started when Blaqbonez dropped a diss in his track “Who’s Really Rapping” and Odumodublvck came back swinging. Odumodublvck wrote, “If rap hard for me your last hit no go dey with me. I’m everything you want to be… your spirit is weak.”  

Blaqbonez responded like: “Enter studio and get TF out my mentions. This no be Twitter warfare.”   What makes this next-level? Odumodublvck claimed the beef is beyond music: “We go meet again for street. You know the level.”  

So yeah: from street protests to celebrity power struggles to rap legacies being challenged — it’s all happening. The mood in Naija? A mix of reflective anger, loud demands for change, and also “aunty when the next track drop?” energy. We’re tired, we’re loud, and we are still moving.
