A trending video on social media has captured the moment popular Nigerian rapper and singer, Tochukwu Gbubemi Ojogwu, popularly known as Odumodu Blvck, offered a spontaneous lesson in courtesy and moral values to a young man during a recent public event.
In the widely circulated clip, Odumodu Blvck was seen addressing the young man sternly after observing that he failed to greet him upon arrival. The rapper, known for his bold persona and lyrical street wisdom, used the opportunity to stress the importance of showing respect to elders, especially in social settings.
“Next time when you see your elders, you greet,” Odumodu stated firmly in the video, his tone carrying both authority and sincerity. His words immediately caught the attention of nearby attendees, some of whom nodded in agreement, while others recorded the moment.
Eyewitnesses noted that the young man appeared taken aback by the rebuke but listened respectfully as the rapper continued to emphasize the value of traditional upbringing and manners. Odumodu Blvck reminded him and others watching that cultural values like greeting elders are not only signs of good home training but essential markers of mutual respect within Nigerian society.
The video has since gone viral, sparking conversations online about the fading tradition of respect for elders among younger Nigerians. While some applauded Odumodu Blvck for using his platform to uphold cultural values, others felt the moment could have been handled more privately.
Regardless, many commended the rapper for staying true to his roots and for taking a moment to mentor in an era where social graces are often overlooked.
This incident adds a new layer to Odumodu Blvck’s public image not just as a street-savvy hitmaker but also as a cultural advocate concerned about the moral fabric of youth.
