Falz’s recent tweet claiming fornication isn’t sinful has triggered a social media storm, dividing Nigerians across moral, legal, and religious lines.
  • Falz posted a controversial tweet on Sunday, stating plainly: “Fornication is not a sin.”
  • The tweet drew sharp criticism and support, revealing deep divisions around faith, culture, and free expression.
  • Reactions ranged from biblical rebuttals to arguments defending individual morality and personal choice.

For many Nigerians, especially online, Falz’s statement touches a nerve. Some see it as a challenge to religious orthodoxy; others view it as truth-telling in a society often accused of hypocrisy. One user wrote, “Most of y’all are just certified hypocrites,” capturing a wider frustration.

Can a tweet shift the national conversation on sexuality and faith—or does it merely fan the flames of old divides? Will public figures keep pushing these moral boundaries?
