- In a recent post on X, ID Cabasa expressed his belief that numerous individuals in Nigeria’s entertainment industry require emotional healing.
- He noted that Nigerians often ridicule and pass judgment on those who are undergoing personal recovery.
Veteran music producer and record executive ID Cabasa has shed light on the importance of addressing emotional trauma within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.
According to Cabasa, many people in the industry require healing, but often face ridicule and judgment instead of support.
He emphasized that people seeking closure are frequently met with division, as others take sides rather than offering empathy.
This, according to him can lead to individuals suppressing their emotions and struggles, appearing strong on the outside while suffering on the inside.
On his X handle, he wrote:
“We need to treat Trauma more in Naija…
A lot of people need closure.. unfortunately when they speak up rather than finding healing “People pick side”
We mock/blame/judge people for things they need healing from.
“The entertainment industry has many stars that need healing… But commentators deepen their pain by criticising them rather than showing empathy. So a lot is locked in so as to appear STRONG while dying internally.
“Even when they cry out for help, we gloss over it as entertainment.”
In another news, ID Cabasa reveals why he stopped being religious.
In a recent interview with Echo Room, ID Cabasa revealed that he used to identify as a devout Christian but has since refined his approach to religion.
Cabasa explained that his discovery came when he realized the importance of distinguishing between God’s words and human interpretations in the Bible.
He emphasized the need to consider the cultural context and pay attention to who is speaking , whether it is God or man.
He said:
“When you are reading the Bible, pay attention to the Jewish culture and pay attention to what God is saying. They are two different things.
“I used to be a very religious Christian until when I was about leaving the university and I discovered that even the Bible that I am reading, I need to pay attention to when it is God that’s speaking and when it’s man that’s speaking in the name of God.”
