The public’s reception to local veteran broadcaster and businessman DJ Sbu’s recent TikTok video has been varied. Many social media users are scratching their heads as they try to make sense of DJ Sbu’s motivational video encouraging people to hug trees as a way to live healthier lives.

The Mofaya businessman chats to his fans in the video, which is now trending on Twitter, about unlocking a person’s spiritual awakening and the different strategies that may be utilized to achieve so. “Your hair is your crown, embrace it,” he wrote in the video. Connect with nature, it is your wellspring.”

“When you get a chance, simply walk barefooted, just walk barefooted, on your green grass or the floor.” “Whenever you get the chance, hug a tree.” “You can hug a tree for around 2-3 minutes,” DJ Sbu added. Some social media users have already taken DJ Sbu’s advise to heart and spent their mornings interacting with nature by hugging a tree.
