CENTENARY CELEBRATION – The way forward

Waking up in the morning with an empty stomach, I tune my radio to a favourite station, while listening to the updates, what only struck my mind is the same question am asking readers now “Is this the Solution?” is this the way forward for this great nation.

But as the day goes by I realised am not the only one pondering about this same question as youths verbally attack celebrities for performing at the so-called Centenary show which took place on Thursday 27th February at Abuja, the nation’s capital.

This entertainers  include 2Face Idibia, Wizkid, Omawumi, and other stars including IK Osakioduwa and Funke Akindele who were the Masters of Ceremony.

The angry Nigerian youths incurred their wrath on them for participating in a show that believed to be 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 (Boko Haram).

The fans were angry that someone like Tuface Idibia could be swayed by money, even after berating politicians in the country during a recent interview with a foreign radio station.

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 lunatic fans believed that it is the only way they could participate in the sharing of the national cake, but I believed they have betrayed a majority of Nigerian youths who are feeling the brunt of the present government misdemeanors.
