He explained that many Nigerians skip the officials who should be held accountable and jump straight to blaming the President. “You have councillors, senators and local government chairmen. These are the people responsible for your welfare, but once anything happens, everyone screams the President’s name,” he said. Odumodublvck added that when political power is centred on one individual, it becomes easy to manipulate the system.

He gave an example of a leader who may want to do the right thing but could be forced into corruption through threats. “Even if he wants to help, they can use his family against him,” he stated. Odumodublvck believes democracy becomes weak when a nation hands its sovereignty to one man.
Speaking on race, the rapper encouraged Black Americans to step away from seeing themselves only as victims. While acknowledging their past suffering, he said that Black people now have access to better opportunities, including businesses, sports, entertainment, and political representation.
He compared racial struggles abroad to hardships faced by Africans. According to him, Africans have endured far worse, including suffering from their own leaders. “America is now a better place for Black people. It’s time to stop holding onto pain. Now is the time to fly,” he said.
