Nigerian rapper Vector has discussed his views on Nigeria’s growth and development.
In a recent conversation on Pulse Fun Facts, alongside fellow artist, Reminisce, vector emphasized the significance of Nigerians embracing their cultural heritage and traditions.
Vector suggested that if he could change one thing, he would highlight the importance of cultural education in schools, ensuring that Nigerians prioritize their core values.
Vector said:
“If I could change anything in Nigeria, I would restrict Nigerian thinking to the traditional way. Let me rephrase: I would make sure our culture and traditions are heavily part of who we are.
“For example, in Yorubaland, Yoruba would get a higher mark in schools than any other study and in Igbo Land, Igbo language would get a higher mark than other courses so that you can get accustomed to the culture and preserve the core fabric of the country.
“Anybody can wake up and create something tech and we’d become technologically advanced, a person can become wealthy too. I have realized that the only thing that sustains us is our culture, and for me, what sustains me mentally is Yoruba. If I could change one thing, it’d be focusing on our core essence as Nigerians.”
Reminisce expressed his desire to reform Nigeria’s governmental structure, emphasizing the need for a change in the system of governance.
He stressed that the focus should be on how the country is governed rather than who governs it.
“If I could change something, it’d be the system of government. I think that’s what the fundamental issue is in this country—the system of governance needs to change. There is too much interest in who governs rather than how we are governed” Reminisce said.
