Take care of yourself first— Prince Onwa Nwafor-Orizu urges Nigerians to prioritise their wellbeing
Prince Onwa Nwafor-Orizu, a senatorial hopeful for Anambra South and son of Nigeria’s first Senate President, Akweke Nwafor Orizu, has shared a heartfelt message urging Nigerians to prioritise their health, peace, and personal wellbeing in a world that rarely pauses for anyone.
Speaking candidly, Prince Onwa highlighted a hard truth: life moves on, even when we don’t. In a world driven by relentless hustle, he encouraged citizens to reflect on the real cost of overworking, people-pleasing, and constant self-sacrifice.
“If something happens to you, the world keeps spinning,” he said. “Even those who claim they can’t live without you will adjust. Your job will replace you, your friends will post ‘RIP’ and keep scrolling. Your family will grieve, but life won’t stop.”
His message cuts to the core of a growing mental health crisis in Nigeria, where many suffer silently under the weight of societal and economic pressure. The senatorial aspirant warned against ignoring personal health in pursuit of validation, stressing that rest, boundaries, and peace are not luxuries but necessities.
Prince Onwa urged Nigerians to say “no” when exhausted, eat well, rest often, and disconnect when life becomes overwhelming. “You matter too,” he reminded. “Don’t lose yourself trying to hold everyone else together.”
His powerful call serves as both a caution and a reminder: self-care is not selfish—it’s survival.
