Some fans of Nigerian entertainers 2Face Idibia, Wizkid and Omawumi
are really upset with the trio and other acts for performing at the Nigerian Centenary celebrations which took place on Thursday 27th February at Abuja, the nation’s capital.
The trio and other stars including IK Osakioduwa and Funke
Akindele who were the Masters of Ceremony incurred the wrath
of some Nigerian youths for participating in a show they termed as
uncalled for and a wanton waste of money, and coming shortly after more
than 50 students of the Federal Government College, Yobe State, were
slaughtered by Islamic militant sect, Boko Haram.
The fans are not happy that someone like 2Face who recently berated
the country’s politicians in an interview with a foreign radio
station could also identify with the same politicians because of money.
The event which is in celebration of Nigeria’s 100 years of existence
has drawn the flak of many who feel that hosting the show with so much
pomp and pageantry at a time the nation should be mourning the death of
innocent children is uncalled for.
Though many of their fans are of the view that it is the only way
they could participate in the sharing of the national cake, others still
think they have betrayed a majority of Nigerian youths who are feeling
the brunt of the present government misdemeanors.
What do you make of the situation?
