What is Metal Day and why is 7/7 important?
Metal Day is a secret event marked by some cult members in Nigeria. It takes place every 7th of July, known as 7/7.
This day is said to be important to the Neo Black Movement, which is believed to be part of the Black Axe cult. These groups are linked to violence and crime in many Nigerian cities.
The word “Metal” is often used by these cult members. They say it shows strength and loyalty. So, when Davido tweeted “Happy METAL” on that same day, it made people angry and worried.
