Nigerian rapper and singer Tochukwu Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodublvck, has described the country’s political system as “shambolic.”

Speaking during a recent episode of the BET Talks podcast, the “Declan Rice” crooner shared his candid thoughts on governance and power, noting that leadership in Nigeria—like in many parts of the world—often gets compromised.

“Politics in Nigeria is a shambolic scene like everywhere in the world. When you give man power, it never really goes as planned regardless of whether the person is good or bad.
If the person is bad, bad people are going to make him worse. And if the person is good, you will have bad people trying to contaminate the good,” Odumodublvck said.

The rapper further expressed frustration over what he described as the “brainwashing” of many Nigerians, who tend to blame only the president for the country’s challenges while ignoring other elected officials.

“Nigerians have been so brainwashed that when there is a problem, the first thing they think about is the president. You have your local chairman, councillor, senator, who are directly representing you, but you are holding only the president accountable for all the challenges our society is facing,” he added.

Odumodublvck’s remarks have resonated with many young Nigerians, reflecting a growing demand for shared accountability and systemic reform in the country’s political landscape.
