In a passionate open letter on social media, popular influencer, and comedian AY has called on Nigeria’s creative community to channel their talents toward nation-building rather than division.
The statement comes on the heels of an AI-generated video that showed AY and actress May Edochie kissing while flying on an airplane, a clip that has since ignited widespread debate online.
In his message, AY urged: “Dear Online Innovators, as the future leaders and change-makers of Nigeria, I urge you to channel your immense creative talents toward building a better nation rather than tearing each other down.
He stressed that Nigeria is rich with potential and that skills in art, music, technology, and entrepreneurship can drive positive change. AY criticized those who use creativity to undermine others, warning that such actions only perpetuate negativity and hinder collective progress.
The influencer also referenced past controversies involving figures like @alex_unusual, questioning why some continue to chase away those who contribute to their growth. His message was clear: unity and collaboration will yield far greater results than division.
“Let’s come together to support one another’s hustles, celebrate our achievements, and inspire a culture of innovation and respect,” he added.
By shifting the narrative from the sensationalism of the viral AI video to a call for positive social impact, the comedian is urging his followers, and all Nigerian innovators to use their talents as a force for good. As the controversy over the AI video continues to swirl, his statement serves as a reminder of the power of unity in shaping a better future for Nigeria.
