Numerous Nigerian celebrities have voiced their opposition to the nation’s growing insecurity.
In response to the attack on Christians on Palm Sunday in Jos, Plateau State, where he was born, singer and half of P-Square duo Paul Okoye, better known by his stage name Rudeboy, claimed that Nigerians are not sufficiently incensed about the nation’s insecurity.
On his X handle, he wrote, “We are not Angry enough !!!
May be na until God come down for earth.”
On his part, comedian and activist Mr Macaroni accused the President Bola Tinubu administration of being “incompetent and irresponsible”.
He claimed that the President is “running the most useless government in the history of useless governments,” stressing that Nigerians “wake up everyday to lament one tragedy of the other.”
In another X post, Mr Macaroni said he can’t fathom why the President hasn’t address the nation even after “40 Nigerians have been confirmed dead” in Sunday’s terrorists’ attack in Jos.
He added that the current administration has zero sense of accountability and responsibility.
Similarly, actor Kunle Remi has urged Nigerians to tag pictures and videos of the insecurity and hardship in Nigeria in their birthday messages to President Tinubu, who recently turned 74.

Speaking in a video broadcast, the movie star said, “There is a video of a woman in pain crying over the loss of someone, that is the image we should use if you want to wish President Tinubu a happy birthday. 15 hours ago there was a disaster in Plateau, that is the celebratory image we should use. Thank you. Happy birthday, Mr President.”
In Jos, the capital of Plateau State in north-central Nigeria, there is a heavily inhabited region called Angwa Rukuba. Armed organisations, including robbers and rebels, have frequently attacked the city and its environs in recent years; land, religious, and ethnic problems have frequently been mentioned in these instances.
This assault comes after the Palm Sunday assault in Plateau State last year, which claimed 54 lives. The Sunday before Easter, known as Palm Sunday, honours Jesus’ triumphant arrival into Jerusalem. The holiest Christian holiday week, which ends on Easter Sunday, begins today.
