Nigeria Is Getting Used to Evil - ID CABASA SPEAKS

Nigeria Is Getting Used to Evil

There was a time in Nigeria when the news of a single killing would shake the entire country. People would cry out in anger. Communities would demand justice. Leaders would feel pressured to speak and act. But today, many Nigerians wake up to horrifying headlines and continue their day as though nothing happened.

That is the painful reality music producer and media personality ID Cabasa recently spoke about.

According to him, Nigerians are slowly becoming comfortable with evil. We are adjusting to darkness, violence, bloodshed, and insecurity as if they are now normal parts of everyday life. The most heartbreaking part is not just the killings happening across the country, but how quickly people move on after hearing about them.

An innocent teacher was reportedly beheaded, and instead of collective outrage, people immediately returned to political arguments, tribal sentiments, and religious divisions. Rather than standing together against evil, Nigerians now often divide themselves over party loyalty, ethnicity, or personal interests.

This is dangerous for any nation.

A country begins to lose its soul when human life no longer matters. When people stop reacting to wickedness, evil becomes stronger. Silence gives violence room to grow. Indifference allows criminals to become bolder.

Today, many Nigerians have become emotionally exhausted. Years of hardship, insecurity, kidnappings, killings, corruption, and failed leadership have weakened people mentally and emotionally. Citizens are struggling daily just to survive. Food prices continue to rise, jobs are scarce, and insecurity spreads across different parts of the country. In the middle of all this pain, many people have lost hope that things can change.

But becoming used to evil should never be accepted as normal.

No society survives when its people stop valuing human life. No nation moves forward when citizens become numb to injustice. The moment people stop speaking against evil is the moment darkness begins to fully take over.

Nigeria is bleeding, not only because of bad governance or insecurity, but because many people are slowly losing their compassion. The danger is no longer just the criminals committing these acts, but the growing silence of those watching it happen.

This is not the Nigeria many dreamed of.

The country is blessed with intelligent, hardworking, and talented people, yet fear, division, greed, and political manipulation continue to destroy unity among citizens. Every tragedy now quickly turns into arguments between tribes, religions, and political supporters instead of a united demand for justice and accountability.

Perhaps the biggest question Nigerians must ask themselves now is this:

Have we truly become too used to evil?

Because when a society adjusts to darkness for too long, people eventually forget what light even looks like.
