"Your Recklessness Could Invite a Coup!" – Okey Bakassi’s Chilling Warning to Nigerian Politicians

The drums of history echo in the distance, their rhythm a warning. Yet, the powerful refuse to listen.

Okey Bakassi, Nollywood’s sharp-witted comedian turned fearless critic, has sounded an alarm—one that shakes the very foundations of Nigeria’s fragile democracy. His voice, usually laced with humor, now carries a weight too heavy to ignore.

“Politicians are behaving like gods,” he declared, his tone stripped of jest. “Untouchable. Reckless. Deaf to the cries of the people. If you speak, they silence you. If you protest, they crush you. But this is how it starts… This is how democracy dies, until the military decides it has seen enough.”

A chilling hush followed his words. Was this a prophecy? A warning? Or the inevitable path Nigeria was already walking?

The arrest of critics. The suppression of voices. The growing arrogance of power. The weight of history loomed like a shadow, whispering the fate of nations that refused to learn.

And yet, when the reckoning comes, Bakassi reminded them, these same politicians will turn to the people—the same people they silenced—to fight for democracy.

But will the people still listen? Or will silence be the only response left?

The question lingers. The stakes are high. And Nigeria holds its breath.
