Nigerian singer Paul Okoye (aka Rudeboy, formerly of P‑Square) has voiced serious concern over Nigeria’s political and social climate, signaling that his patience has worn thin. Speaking on Naija FM Lagos, he expressed deep disillusionment with nationwide unrest and government failure.
When asked about his opinion on recent August 1 nationwide protests, Paul responded:
“I’m sorry, I don’t have any opinion anymore. The last opinion I did was during the elections. I’m not saying anything anymore.… Anyhow wey una wan run the country make una run am. I’m building my own country myself now.”
His statement reveals emotional fatigue and resignation. According to him, Nigeria has become a country where active protest and political commentary feel futile.
– In prior interviews, Paul warned that social media misuse among youth could destroy lives, linking it to widespread trolling and clout chasing.
– He has also highlighted that competition—not poverty or inflation—is Nigeria’s true problem, critiquing how success is measured and how society values status over substance.
– Back in 2022 he declared that only entertainment is progressing in Nigeria, suggesting most other sectors are stagnant or regressing.
Paul Okoye’s recent remarks underscore a turning point: when a prominent cultural figure relinquishes hope in civic processes, it signals deep frustration with national leadership and public discourse. His resignation isn’t apathy—it’s a mark of personal disillusionment and cultural fatigue.
