The Call for Conscious Music: As a human rights activist, Ruggedman emphasized the potential impact of Nigerian music on a global scale.
With millions of people, including non-Nigerians, embracing Afrobeat music, he stressed the importance of leveraging this platform to promote positive ideals.
He specifically called upon prominent artists like Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid, among others, to infuse consciousness into their songs and advocate for themes such as peace, creativity, and positivity.
Inspiring Change through Music: Ruggedman acknowledged that not every artist should have the same approach or mindset.
He emphasized the significance of inspiration, whereby conscious musicians can motivate those who are solely focused on danceable tunes.

As they continue to create music that entertains and uplifts, integrating consciousness into their songs can lead to a more profound and lasting impact on society.
