"Everything Is Upside Down": Baba Dee Sparks Online Buzz With Bold Critique of Nigerian Society
Veteran Nigerian singer Dare Fasasi, popularly known as Baba Dee, has set tongues wagging online after dropping a blunt and thought-provoking observation on the current state of Nigerian society.
Taking to his Instagram story, Baba Dee didn’t mince words as he called out what he described as a disturbing reversal of values in the country. He wrote:
“Everything is upside down. In Nigeria, prostitutes are celebrities.
Drug barons are icons.
Fraudsters are political leaders.
Yahoo boys are social influencers... eh de le o fe esu la bule!!!”
💭 Opinion: A Wake-Up Call or Just Another Rant?
Baba Dee’s comments reflect what many Nigerians have quietly murmured about — the growing normalization of vice and the apparent misplacement of societal priorities. In a culture increasingly driven by fast money, clout-chasing, and questionable fame, the line between infamy and influence seems blurred.
Is it now cooler to be “notorious” than to be noble? Are we celebrating wealth with no curiosity about its source?
📲 Social Media Reacts
As expected, the post drew mixed reactions from netizens:
“He said what most of us have been thinking! Society really dey backwards.”
“Na frustration dey talk. If Baba Dee had money like dem, he won’t be complaining.”
“Facts! We glorify everything we used to condemn.”
🔍 A Look in the Mirror
While some critics might dismiss his words as an outdated moral lecture, Baba Dee may have hit a nerve—especially in a time where youths are bombarded with images of overnight success often built on shaky foundations.
His critique is not just of individuals, but of a system that rewards shortcuts and sidelines substance. And in a country struggling with inflation, unemployment, and political fatigue, it’s easy to see how these warped standards thrive.
✍️ Final Thoughts
Whether you see Baba Dee as brutally honest or just bitter, his statement has sparked an important dialogue: Who are our role models—and what values are we really promoting?
It’s time for both leaders and followers to rethink the kind of legacies they’re building in a society where the line between celebrity and scandal has become dangerously thin.
