“Nigerians have gotten used to evil” — ID Cabasa laments rising violence, public silence

Veteran Nigerian music producer ID Cabasa has expressed concern over what he described as the growing normalisation of violence and insecurity in the country.

Speaking in an emotional statement, the music executive said many Nigerians have gradually become accustomed to disturbing incidents, including killings and other violent acts, due to their frequent occurrence.

According to him, citizens are no longer reacting with the level of urgency such tragedies deserve, adding that people have adjusted to the “darkness” surrounding the nation.

He also criticised the government for what he believes is a failure to adequately address the worsening security situation.

Cabasa further lamented that instead of uniting against violence and injustice, Nigerians often divide themselves along political, religious, ethnic, and tribal lines whenever tragic incidents occur.

Referencing the recent killing of a teacher, he said the public response quickly faded without sustained outrage or demands for justice, a development he described as deeply troubling.

He said…

“it’s so sad now that we have gotten used to evil. Nigerians have gotten used to the k’||!ng. We have adjusted to the darkness that has covered this country. The government of the day is not taking action and it’s so sad that even when we are supposed to speak up people pick political divides; we make it religious, we make it ethnical and we make it tribal. An innocent teacher was b3hEAded and the next thing we keep adjusting.”
