Nigerian singer Raoul John Njeng-Njeng, popularly known as Skales, has expressed concern over the dwindling trust in the government.
In a recent post on his X handle, Skales lamented that citizens now seek justice through fellow citizens like activist VeryDarkMan instead of government establishments.
Skales described the situation as “crazy” and wondered how Nigeria had degenerated to a point where citizens could no longer trust their government. He wrote, “It’s crazy what is going on in Nigeria … imagine where the citizens cannot run to the government but to a fellow citizen like VDM for help ….smh!! God bless & protect him tho.”
The singer’s comments come as many Nigerians have taken to social media to express their frustration with the government’s inability to provide basic services and ensure justice. The trend of seeking help from activists and influencers has become increasingly popular, with many citizens seeing them as more effective and trustworthy than government institutions.
