Controversial media personality Bobrisky has taken a strong stand on the recent killings in Benue State. In a viral post, they called out Nigerian lawmakers for staying silent while over 200 people lost their lives. The message has stirred conversation online and added to growing public frustration.
Bobrisky expressed anger over how quickly lawmakers can act when it concerns minor celebrity issues, but remain quiet during national tragedies. “The senators/representatives didn’t call an urgent meeting over the killings happening in Benue, but they can call urgent meetings when it comes to Bobrisky. Shame!! Shame!! Shame!!”
Their post didn’t stop there. Bobrisky went on to criticize the entire system. “Mtchew, what a shameful country. So those killing innocent people don’t know the way to Abuja to meet the shameless old men, so it’s four people that should be suffering everything? Nigeria is a mess.”
The comments have gone viral, and many Nigerians agree. One user wrote, “Bobrisky might be controversial, but they’re right this time. Our leaders need to wake up.” Another said, “Why do we need celebrities to remind lawmakers to do their jobs?”
Other public figures are also speaking out. Falz has called the current administration incompetent. 2Baba, Kate Henshaw, and Mr Macaroni have demanded more than just condolences. Many believe the government’s response has been too slow and too shallow.
The massacre in Benue has become a painful symbol of the nation’s insecurity. With more voices calling for change, the pressure on leaders continues to grow.
