Nigerian act Innocent Idibia otherwise known as Tubaba says he finds it unfathomable to know that people actually feel the onus is on celebrities to fight or pass comment on the on-going xenophobics attack in South Africa.
Using Mandela as a typical example, he wrote how the man was no celebrity yet went out on his way to fight for his people. He wrote; “I no be celebrity spokesman but it’s absurd to me that we are not facing the root cause of all this madness by some stupid and backward thinking south Africans but rather channeling the anger towards hardworking Africans that are doing their normal business of entertainment. If U can speak up, that’s cool but I don’t get why u have 2 start coursing and harassing people who haven’t. YOU DON’T KNOW THEIR PAINS. Was Mandela a celebrity b4 he started fighting for his people?.”

He further wrote; “How can we AFRICANS get out of this massive mess is what we should collectively start seriously tackling.
Let’s all stop pretending that we don’t know we are still seriously mentally enslaved through politics, media, and religion.”
