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?
