Nigerian content creator D English Alhaji has spoken about the growing backlash and disturbing messages he says he has received after spending days highlighting videos and commentary about banditry and terrorism in Nigeria.
In a statement shared today, the activist expressed concern over the nature of the direct messages that have flooded his inbox over the past three days.
According to D English Alhaji, the reactions have gone beyond ordinary criticism, with some of the messages allegedly making him fear for his safety.
He explained that his decision to continue discussing insecurity in the country is driven by his desire to see a better Nigeria for ordinary citizens.
“For the past three days now, it hasn’t been easy for me,” he said, while describing the volume and nature of the messages he has received.
Despite the pressure, D English Alhaji maintained that his motivation is not personal fame or controversy but his concern about the country and the experiences of Nigerians affected by insecurity.
He said he is willing to continue speaking about the issues because he believes Nigerians deserve a safer and better nation.
The content creator then made an emotional remark about the possibility of losing his life over his outspoken position, saying, “If they finally unalive me, I have paid my dues.”
His statement has sparked concern among people following his recent activities, particularly because he claims the messages directed at him have intensified in recent days.
The comments also highlight the risks that public figures, activists and online commentators can face when they speak publicly about sensitive issues such as terrorism, banditry and insecurity.
While the exact identities and intentions of the people behind the alleged threatening messages remain unclear, D English Alhaji’s remarks have drawn attention to the increasingly heated conversations surrounding insecurity in Nigeria.
For many Nigerians, his statement has renewed calls for people to be able to discuss the country’s security challenges without intimidation or threats.
As reactions continue online, attention is now turning to whether the alleged threats will be investigated and whether adequate measures will be taken to ensure his safety.
