Reggae Music Holds Spiritual Solutions for Nigeria – Bob Holyman
Nigerian Rastafarian artiste, Bob Holyman, has urged citizens to embrace reggae music not just as entertainment, but as a source of spiritual guidance and solutions to the country’s challenges.
Speaking in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Saturday in Lagos, Holyman described his sound as deeply spiritual, flowing from an innate connection with God, which he believes distinguishes him from those who merely adopt Rastafarianism as a lifestyle.
“My music serves as a platform to share divine messages and insights, guided by the spirit of God.
This connection empowers me to remain truthful and authentic in my words and actions,” he said.
Holyman highlighted his 2024 release, “Where We Dey Go,” which reflected his concerns about Nigeria’s post-election realities. He lamented that politicians often prioritize the poor during campaigns, only to abandon them after winning elections, leaving citizens in cycles of poverty and hardship.
The reggae singer also prayed for leaders with empathy and compassion, who would genuinely work to ease the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
Referencing global icons like Bob Marley and Lucky Dube, Holyman noted that reggae has historically been used to preach unity, redemption, and address social injustice. He further acknowledged Nigerian legends such as Majek Fashek and Ras Kimono, who blended reggae with African roots while pushing for cultural pride and societal change.
Reggae offers timeless spiritual guidance and solutions to our nation’s problems.
By truly embracing its messages, we can inspire unity and positive change in Nigeria, Holyman emphasized.
He concluded by encouraging Nigerians to listen more attentively to reggae, stressing that its spiritual power and enduring relevance can help steer the nation toward healing and progress.
