Nigerian rapper and social commentator Erigga has issued a powerful message to fellow Nigerians and creatives, urging them not to delay executing their ideas or risk watching someone else bring those same ideas to life.
In a post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, Erigga emphasized the importance of acting on inspiration promptly, explaining that ideas have a life of their own and often manifest through those who are ready to execute them.
“If you have an idea you’re excited about and you don’t bring it to life, it’s not uncommon for the idea to find its voice through another maker,” he wrote.
“This isn’t because the other artist stole your idea, but because the idea’s time has come.”
The rapper’s post quickly went viral, sparking a wave of self-reflection among creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs.
Many people flooded the comments with stories about missing out on opportunities after stalling on projects they once felt passionate about, only to later watch similar concepts thrive elsewhere.
A Wake-Up Call for Creatives
Erigga, known for his streetwise wisdom and raw commentary on life in Nigeria, often shares motivational insights alongside his music.
This latest message resonates deeply in a time when many people are sitting on untapped potential, waiting for the “perfect” moment that may never come.
His post serves as a reminder that action beats perfection — and that delay can mean forfeiting your opportunity to bring a great idea to life.
Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or innovator, Erigga’s words echo a universal truth:
If you don’t give your ideas a voice, someone else will.
