Backlash trails Ice Prince's reaction to Jos' attack
Reacting, many netizens accused the rapper of hypocrisy for performing at the APC's March 27 national convention, alongside Duncan Mighty and Peruzzi. Others claimed that he intentionally included the attack in Jos that has been on since 2001 to alleviate the current administration of the blame.
Jos's compiled some of the reactions; read them below:
PvrseLogic commented:
"We know that you people need to make ends meet. But sometimes, you must be able to put integrity and the interest of your people first. Now, how do you defend performing at an event organised by the government?"
techwithini reacted:
"You're so scared to mention APC. You're so useless."
mamarolex said:
"Thoughts and prayers will not solve anything. Going to perform at their convention just shows the kind of person that you are. As a public figure from Jos, you should lead a peaceful protest with the likes of Peter and Paul Okoye from there as well and demand enough is enough."
o_bukunmyyy commented:
"You intentionally included 2001 so it doesn't look like you blaming APC and the current incompetent government. We all know what we are doing."
Ugochuks_D reacted:
"Bro you literally performed for same govt currently ruling. You rejoiced with them and supported them. Same govt that has turned deaf ears to the killings and suffering of your people. Same govt that will apprehend terrorist and still let them go free."
