The entertainer shared the message via his Instagram Story on Sunday, urging citizens not to risk their lives for the country, arguing that personal survival is more important than becoming a temporary topic of discussion online.
“Whatever you do in this life, don't die for Nigeria. You are more valuable alive than as a trending hashtag,” Basketmouth wrote.
He added that public attention on social media is often short-lived.
“A trending hashtag that might possibly last a few days,” he stated.
The comedian's remarks have since generated mixed reactions online, with some social media users agreeing that individuals should prioritise their safety and well-being, while others interpreted the statement as a reflection of growing frustration over the country's socio-economic and security challenges.
