Don’t d!e for Nigeria” — Basketmouth urges Nigerians to prioritise their lives

Comedian Basketmouth has stated that Nigeria is not worth dying for, stressing that personal survival is more important than becoming a temporary social media trend.

The entertainer shared the message on his Instagram Story on Sunday, July 5, 2026, noting that being alive is far more valuable than being remembered through a hashtag that will soon be forgotten.

He wrote:

“Whatever you do in this life, don’t d!e for Nigeria. You are more valuable alive than as a trending hashtag.

A trending hashtag that might possibly last a few days.”
