Is Insecurity Nigeria’s New Political Pawn—Soso Soberekon Sparks Conversation

 

Nigerian music executive, Soso Soberekon, has stirred social media with a thought-provoking post questioning the suspicious spikes in insecurity across certain regions of the country—especially when political tides begin to shift.

Taking to Instagram, Soso asked what many have silently wondered:

“Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed this?

Each time certain politicians are unhappy or switch to the opposition, there’s suddenly a rise in insecurity—bandit attacks, religious killings, and general chaos.”

He didn’t stop there. Soso pushed deeper, questioning whether the nation's peace is now a bargaining chip in high-stakes political games:

“Why does peace seem tied to political satisfaction?

Is this just a coincidence, or are we witnessing a pattern where insecurity is being weaponized to bargain for power?”

His message struck a chord with Nigerians who have long questioned the sudden and often deadly outbreaks of violence that seem to follow political unrest or realignments.

Soso’s final words were a chilling reminder of who truly bears the cost:

“When politics controls peace, ordinary people pay with their lives.”

His post has since sparked debates and reflections across social platforms, with many urging a deeper investigation into the roots of the nation’s security challenges. Whether conspiracy or coincidence, one thing is clear—Soso’s not afraid to say what many are thinking.
