Skit maker and singer, Nasboi, has called for more understanding toward celebrities who stay silent on political issues.
In a post on X, he asked Nigerians to consider why some public figures avoid speaking up.
He referenced comedian Mr Macaroni, who was harassed after speaking out for the public, only to face mockery and insults afterward.
He argued that not everyone has the courage to speak publicly, and people must accept that.
He added that just as some ordinary Nigerians avoid politics, some celebrities also prefer not to get involved, reminding his followers that celebrities are humans like everyone else.
“People wey get sense, make we reason this matter. Una dey always drag celebrities for not speaking up, but make I remind una of Mr Macaroni. See how dem maltreat am just because he spoke up for everybody. Yet na still people mock am and insult am. You think say other celebrities no dey see all those things?
“No be everybody get mind to talk. You have to accept that. And make we no forget, just like some of una no dey interested in politics, na so some celebrities no like to involve politically. Celebrities are humans like you,” he wrote on X.
