Five days ago, Floxx Onyeegwu, a talented artist from Port Harcourt, took to Facebook to share a powerful and emotional message dedicated to men who are silently grinding through life’s pressures. Known for his artistry and authenticity, Floxxty used his platform not just for music—but to speak life into those who rarely get acknowledged.
In his post, he encouraged men to take a moment and appreciate themselves. He reminded them that it’s okay to feel tired and worn out—but it’s not okay to beat themselves up or feel less because of their struggles.
> “Men hardly ask for help,” he wrote, drawing attention to a painful truth about masculinity and emotional repression. He followed up with a striking—though unverified—claim that 75% of people who commit suicide each year are men, shining a light on the harsh reality of mental health struggles faced in silence.
But rather than dwell in the pain, Floxx’s tone was celebratory and empowering. He gave a shout-out to all the real men out there, who are doing their best to survive, hustle, and hold things down—even when no one is watching. He capped it off with a fist bump emoji 👊🏾 as a salute to their strength.
In a gesture that blended support with sincerity, Floxxty wrote:
> “First five men, drop your aza now 🙏”
("Aza" being a popular Nigerian slang for bank account number.)
This wasn’t just talk—he wanted to bless a few brothers in need, no questions asked.
