An Attack Of Conscience: Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde Takes On FG In Twitter Outbursts

Jonathan 15:29 - 16 October 2013

When does evil become too overbearing? When does the stench of oppression becomes too choking for the elite? When do stars fall from the sky to take up earthly duties? What makes a diva, lose her calm and declare war on injustice?

These questions remain unanswered, but one thing we know is this. Nigerian actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde cares! Perhaps she had an attack of conscience, perhaps some societal stimulant got to her, or God came to her in her sleep. You never can tell. Omotola yesterday took to twitter to air compassionate views on the state of the nation. Read her below.

Her followers however were moved, not to conscience, but to anger. Below were their replies.

«Guess she just woke up from an eternal slumber..Is this not what she and her colleages should use their fame for? To draw attention to how the country is being run rather they feature in all the political ads and government feel good propaganda.»

«Your colleagues in the industry are the number 1 culprit that should be stoned together with the politicians. They have decided to align with our oppressors and slave masters .They have negated the truth and chose not to side with the people all for a bowl of porridge. Shame on you all.........»

«Since govt no grin let her be one ambassador she don begin insult....go and sleep Omotola, what have you done wit all d so called fame? How many helpless children have u helped? How many do you pay their school fees? It is not enough for you to start blabbing on twitter.....get a life.»

«She is saying the truth. We have sulked up to our corrupt leaders. We feel its ok for them to steal our money. We feel happy when they oppress us with the stolen wealth. I am listening to D'banj singing about money and sorry for the poor ones. The same poor ones who save N100 to buy his album. It doesn't matter when we awake from our slumber but we must wake up and demand our right.»

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde recently was included in the Times List Of 100 Most Influential people. And as the saying reads; With great power, comes great responsibility. We have no idea what moved her to her comments, but from the replies, she needs to do more than tweet her views.
