Veteran folk musician Beautiful Nubia has raised concerns over the rampant destruction of trees and green spaces in Nigeria, warning that the trend poses a serious threat to human survival.

Speaking during a recent performance, the singer decried what he described as a national hostility toward nature, citing his observation along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

“I drove on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway today, they are cutting down the trees. When a Nigerian buys land, they cut; they hate trees. Nigerians have a war against trees, we have a war against nature. I don’t know why,” he said.

Beautiful Nubia criticized the common practice of clearing land completely before development, replacing natural vegetation with concrete.

“Something is really wrong with our brains that we hate green. We have trees, we hate seeing grass. When Nigerians buy land, they cut the trees and cement the whole floor. What is wrong with you and the tree?”

He stressed the importance of trees for environmental balance and human survival, warning of dire consequences if deforestation continues unchecked.

“And without the trees, we would all be dead—and we are getting there,” he added.
