"Act Fast or Watch It Happen": Erigga Warns Nigerians Against Sitting on Ideas

Nigerian rapper and street philosopher Erigga is dropping wisdom again — this time, not in bars, but in a tweet that’s got the creative community buzzing.

Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) page, the Warri-born lyricist advised Nigerians to stop sitting on ideas for too long, warning that the universe doesn’t wait for indecision.

“If you have an idea you're excited about and you don't bring it to life, it's not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker,” he posted.

“This isn't because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea's time has come.”

💭 Opinion: A Wake-Up Call for Dreamers in Delay

Erigga’s words hit deeper than they appear. In a nation where talent is abundant but execution is often stifled by fear, overthinking, lack of resources, or “village people” suspicion, his message is a powerful reminder that ideas don’t wait for perfect conditions.

Too many creatives and entrepreneurs in Nigeria hold on to goldmines of innovation — music projects, fashion lines, apps, stories, movements — only to watch someone else birth the same concept months later.

And while it may feel like theft or "spiritual manipulation," Erigga’s take is more universal: ideas have seasons. If you’re not ready when yours comes, it will find a willing soul to execute it.

💬 Reactions from the Net:

🔸 “This has happened to me twice! I had an idea for a comic series in 2020. Boom, someone launched the exact same vibe in 2022.”
🔸 “Bro, this is the sign I needed. No more sitting on that podcast plan.”
🔸 “True talk! Ideas are spiritual. They move if you’re not serious.”

📌 Final Word: Stop Waiting, Start Doing

Whether you're a budding entrepreneur, an artist, a tech innovator, or just a Nigerian with a vision — Erigga’s message is clear: create now or regret later. The world doesn’t reward thinkers; it celebrates doers.

So next time you get an idea that excites you, remember: that’s not a coincidence. It’s a calling.

🧠✨ Don’t sit on it. Build it. Launch it. Share it. The world is waiting.
