Open Mic Abuja Sparks Moral Awakening as Mr Shine Urges Personal Responsibility

The annual Open Mic event at Abuja’s National Stadium showcased literary talent and sparked civic debate. Convener Mr Shine Enyinnaya Nwosu opened with a keynote on “Nigeria and Morality,” urging citizens to stop blaming leaders and take action themselves. He argued that corruption and poverty arise from cultural decay in families, schools, and media. Using the story of twins raised in different environments, he stressed that behaviour is shaped by upbringing, not biology. Media Coordinator Hussain AbdulQadir Zaguru described the gathering as a platform for students to explore literature’s role in leadership. Comrade Muhammad Abdulmajeed praised the programme’s impact on student values and readiness to inspire change. Cash prizes rewarded winning performances, and attendees left motivated to drive progress at home rather than seek opportunities abroad. Many hailed the event as a timely call for national rebirth.
