In a recent episode of the Outside The Box podcast, rapper Illbliss urged Nigerians to embrace non-indigenes in their states. He highlighted the significant role Igbo traders play in Lagos’s economy and noted that the city would struggle without their contributions. He lamented the persistence of tribalism and religious bigotry decades after independence. Illbliss argued that unity, not division, should define the country’s future. The artist even questioned if Nigeria should have remained a single nation given its ongoing ethnic tensions, stressing that all citizens deserve respect and accommodation.
