Simi, a prominent Nigerian musician, has issued a simple caution about the perils of chasing public approval.

In a tweet shared on X, the artist encouraged people not to rely on the love or acceptance from others, calling it ‘inconsistent.’

Her words: “Don’t live for the love of people. It’s fickle as f*ck. Live for truth. Be kind. Be honest. Live for God. And when people do show you love en masse, don’t bask in it too long. You MAY acknowledge it — but keep it moving. Because people forget. And if you forget that, you will suffer.”Naija fashion trends
