Analyst frowns at displacement comment
A public affairs analyst, Ayo Adeleke, stated that Zubby Micheal was encouraging displacement by his comment.
He stated:
"Advising citizens to leave their homeland can sound like normalising displacement instead of demanding accountability. While his comment may have been driven by concern for safety, it overlooks the government’s responsibility to protect residents, a point also raised by Daddy Freeze. In sensitive security situations, public figures are expected to balance empathy with calls for systemic solutions, not just relocation."
Zubby Michael clashes with Isbea U

The altercation took place amid a tense discussion, leading Zubby to lose his temper with Isbae U. As usual, Isbae U invited Zubby to his show and bombarded him with provocative questions.
One of the questions was why Zubby doesn't take part in real-life armed robberies, instead just portraying them in his films.
