Okun Land – A wave of passionate declarations is sweeping across social media, as prominent influencers from Okun land are taking a firm stand, refusing to remain silent on what they describe as critical issues facing the region. The movement, spearheaded by figures like Oladapo Mikky and Jaywon Oba Orin, signals a growing sentiment that traditional leaders and “data boys” (often referring to supporters who praise existing systems) are failing the people.
Oladapo Mikky, a notable influencer, recently posted a powerful statement asserting, “THE ANCESTORS OF EGBE MEKUN WILL QUESTION ME IF I’M TRULY AN INFLUENCER IF I REFUSE TO USE MY PLATFORM TO SPEAK.” He further extended a “Shout-out too the Online WARRIORS,” indicating a call to action for other digital voices.
Mikky’s sentiment echoes an earlier, even more direct post from the verified account of Jaywon Oba Orin, who declared, “I refuse to keep quiet and watch Okun land turn into another Benue. If all I have is my voice and my platforms, then I will use them. Let the rest stay silent while the data boys keep praising failure. I won’t!!” The reference to Benue, a state that has faced significant socio-economic and security challenges, highlights the gravity with which these influencers view the current situation in Okun.
This unified stance from prominent online personalities suggests a potential shift in how issues are discussed and addressed within Okun land. It remains to be seen how this challenge to the status quo will be received by traditional authorities and the “data boys” mentioned in the posts.
