How we entertainers helped politicians kill our fans in Nyanya - by Etcetera

Singer Etcetera thinks Nigerian entertainers are
partly to be blamed for what happened at Nyanya Motor Park yesterday. Find his opinion
piece below...

For God's sake, can Somebody please call Dbanj, Don Jazzy, Onyeka Onwenu, Duncan
Mighty, Stephanie Okereke, Genevieve Nnaji, Funke Akindele, Omotola, Rita Dominic, Aki and Pawpaw, Sammy Okposo, Sunny Neji, Maleke, Okey Bakassi, Jay Jay Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo, Daddy Showkey, Richard Mofe Damijo, Kwam 1 and other entertainers that have at one time or the other been seen dining with politicians? Can
you please tell them that there has been a
bomb blast in Nyanya? Can you include pictures of the mutilated bodies? Please don't forget to tell them that most of the dead might have been lovers of their music and movies and cheered them in every concert and football matches they played both at club level and the national team.
Tell them that their CDs and Movies were bought by those dead fans for inspiration and because they wanted to feel alive and ease off the daily tensions faced everyday in this country.
That the Jingles done by Dbanj, Don Jazzy, Sammy Okposo, Onyeka Onwenu and other
entertainers might have convinced some of
those who have died in different Boko Haram
raids or bad roads or lack of proper healthcare
facilities to vote for politicians who have failed
them in all ramifications? The same politicians
that failed to protect the lives of those shredded
bodies in Nyanya? That some of the dead fans in
Nyanya might have even spent their little
earnings to attend their concerts in Abuja and
environs? Have you as an entertainer ever sat
down to reflect on the fact that each time we
give our voices to enhance the career of these
politicians knowing they mean no good for this
country that we are bringing more hardship and even death to our fans?
Why devote precious hours in the studio
composing songs asking your fans to vote for
politicians whose past stinks more than the
dustbin at Ojota?
How do you feel listening to those songs today
knowing that Mr Politician failed you and your
die-hard fans? Can you give back those millions
to bring back the lives of those dead fans in
Nyanya, Jos, Maiduguri, Agatu in Benue? I guess
not, because frolicking with the devil makes u
perpetually his.
2015 is around the corner. Many of us
entertainers will be called upon to do jingles,
attend rallies wearing branded T-shirts in
support of these same politicians. Millions of
naira will be paid to your bank accounts.
Thousands of bottles of MOET will be popped for
you to feel good at different rally points while
you convince your fans to join the bandwagon as part of the special few who voted for change.
Right now, some of us entertainers must be
licking our lips in anticipation of the naira
windfall come 2015. Let your conscience be your pilot. That is if you have one. May the souls of those fans who have died because of insecurity and corruption haunt every entertainer who refuses to repent from selling his or her talent for money at the expense of a better Nigeria.
And may the souls of all our faithfully departed
fans REST IN PEACE. Amen!
