Vector Tha Viper, a popular rapper, has asked Nigerian celebrities to stop supporting bad administration.
According to the Gistlover, in recent years, more Nigerian celebrities have entered partisan politics or publicly supported politicians.
Vector reacted by criticizing celebrities for siding with their own people/fans against reality.
He forewarned them that if the struggle continued, they would suffer the consequences.
On his X handle, Vector wrote: “To the celebrities taking sides against the reality of their own people/fans, it may be best to repent before you become the only reachable option if the hardship doesn’t stop. Stop supporting bad governance.”
His advise comes amid a nationwide outcry over the country’s extreme misery.
In other news, Jide Ekene, a Nollywood actor, turned to Instagram to address the Nigerian government amid the ongoing nationwide hunger protest.
He made it clear that power is not permanent for them.
His words;
”My fellow Nigerians, 🇳🇬
I bring to you a message of hope, peace, and progress as we stand on the brink of a significant moment in our history. Tomorrow, as we march to demand a better standard of living, I pray that those we entrusted with leadership will heed our voices and not turn a deaf ear to our cries.
Let us remember the Igbo adage, “Egbe belu, Ugo ebelu,” which reminds us that power is not permanent. Leaders today can be followers tomorrow, and no situation lasts forever. Our struggle is not against individuals but against a system that has allowed mismanagement to persist. We ask those in power to remember the average Nigerian, for they were once in our shoes, and their children may one day walk in them too.
This is a fight for unity and progress, not division. It’s a call for everyone, regardless of their position, to recognize and address the suffering of our fellow citizens. The Igbo saying, “Akwa Nwanne na emetuta na obi,” tells us that we must respond to the cries of our own.
Our journey has been difficult, and our challenges immense. It is crucial that African leaders pay attention to Nigeria’s plight. If Nigeria, the “Giant of Africa,” falters, what hope remains for our neighbors?
We must rise above conflict and view this not as a war, but as a call for justice and equity. Let those who have never experienced hardship be the first to cast a stone.
I leave you with the powerful word from Kenya’s coat of arms: “HARAMBE,” which means “Let’s pull together.” Let us work together, help each other, care, and share as we strive for a better Nigeria”.
