Words:Adedosu 'kenzy' Adekunle
It is no more drama....as it has come to the open that more and more celebrity are coming out to "OCCUPY NIGERIA" an unending protest that seems endless and more of celebrity's are taking on each other.It would be shocking that Controversial rapper "Eedris Abdulkareem" has called out the Mo’Hits pop singer "D’banj" and other Nigerian artistes who campaigned for President Goodluck Jonathan before the April Polls in 2011.
It is a thing of common knowledge that top showbiz stars endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan and actually mobilized other Nigerians to vote him into office.The support for President Jonathan’s campaign was so remarkable because D’Banj went a step further and interviewed Mr. President,which generated various rumor that Mo’Hits crew must have collected a large sum of money before taking such step.
Few months after all these struggle to get President Jonathan into Aso Rock Villa,removal of fuel subsidy has created different reactions from Nigerian citizens who are insisting that showbiz people like D’Banj,Don Jazzy, Genevieve Nnaji and others should hit the streets to denounce Mr.
President.
At the peaceful protest against the removal of fuel subsidy in Lagos State yesterday,music icon Eedris Abdulkareem called out the names of all the artistes and other people that campaigned for president Goodluck during the last election.
Yesterday, Tuesday ,January 10, 2012, Kennis Music act " eddris abdulkareem" made an appearance at the Gani Fawehinmi Park in support of the on-going strike against the Federal government’s removal of Fuel subsidy.
Eedris got on stage and said "All of una wey sing for Goodluck, F*** that bastard D’banj for collecting Money from Goodluck, God will punish you".
The rapper also revisited his past issues with former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
"The man wey say i dey craze because i sing Nigeria jaga jaga where him dey now inside this hardship. Na 2002 I sing Nigeria JagaJaga, na 2012 we dey so o". Eedris lamented.
The rapper who has six albums credited to his career had released ‘Jaga jaga’, a single which described the country’s down-state back in 2002. Obasanjo supposedly replied him derogatorily.
Journalists had a quick chat with the rapper just after he got performed his songs. Eedris disclosed that he was also approached to campaign for the current president but he said ‘no’. "They called me too but I turned them down, D’banj can’t be here because he knows he has disappointed the people", Eedris said.
