Zlatan Ibile has called on Nigerians to take a more proactive approach to the health of their parents, urging families to prioritise routine medical checkups instead of waiting for emergencies.
The Zanku Records boss made the appeal on his verified X account, where he reflected on how many people often overlook preventive healthcare for elderly parents until illness becomes serious. He noted that while prayers and faith remain important in Nigerian households, they should be complemented with consistent medical attention.
In his post, he wrote:
“Things might not be so smooth
But even if na once a year medim!cal check up Run am for your mama or papa
No be by my parents will l!ve long in Jesus name
E GET WHY”
The message quickly gained attention across social media, drawing praise from fans who said the rapper had highlighted a practical issue many families tend to ignore. Some users described the post as a timely reminder, especially in a country where routine hospital visits are often delayed due to cost, fear, or cultural attitudes toward illness.
Responses to the post also included personal testimonies from users who said regular checkups helped detect health conditions early in their own families, allowing for treatment before complications developed.
The discussion has since grown into a wider conversation about preventive healthcare in Nigeria, particularly for elderly citizens who are less likely to seek medical attention unless symptoms become severe. Health advocates say such awareness messages from public figures can help shift attitudes and encourage earlier intervention.
Zlatan’s remarks continue to circulate online, reinforcing calls for families to treat medical checkups for parents as a regular responsibility rather than an afterthought.
