Nigeria is bleeding and its stars are no longer silent about it. As kidnappings, terrorist attacks, and targeted killings continue to shake the nation, celebrities who often serve as the voices of the people have taken to their platforms with raw emotion, outrage, and calls for accountability.
From Kwara to Kebbi, the recent tragedies, especially the church attack in Eruku and the abduction of schoolgirls have forced many entertainers to speak not as icons, but as Nigerians terrified by the reality the country is becoming.
Here are the Top 10 celebrity reactions to Nigeria’s insecurity crisis:
- Davido: “These acts of violence must never become our norm”
Davido’s statement read like a cry from a wounded heart. Reacting to the Kwara church attack and the kidnapping of Kebbi schoolgirls, the global Afrobeats star expressed deep sorrow, calling for unity and collective responsibility.
No family, he said, deserves such agony. And no child should grow up in fear.
His message wasn’t just emotional, it was actually a call to action, urging anyone with credible information to help rescue the abducted girls. In his words, “May God watch over them until they return.”
- Don Jazzy: “The perpetrators deserve no mercy”
The Mavin Records boss went straight for the jugular. Reacting to President Tinubu’s comments, Don Jazzy insisted that terrorism must never become part of our national identity. Where is the intelligence? Where is the accountability? Where is the urgency?
He demanded results and urged the President to hold security chiefs accountable because Nigerians, he emphasized, are running out of patience.
- Falz: “How many more people?”
Falz’s frustration was loud and clear. In a brief but piercing message, he asked the question on everyone’s mind: How many more Nigerians must die before decisive action is taken? He urged the President to confront insecurity head-on, not with promises, but with impactful steps.
- Mr Macaroni: “This affects all of us!”
Debo Adedayo didn’t mince words. He condemned the Kwara attack and criticized the President’s silence, noting that leaders cannot stay quiet while citizens are slaughtered.
Whether the terror happens in the North, South, East or West, Macaroni stressed, it touches every Nigerian. “This is madness”, he wrote, and many agreed.
- Funke Akindele: “I wept seeing that old woman running”
Funke Akindele’s reaction was painfully human. After watching the viral video of worshippers fleeing the church, including an elderly woman struggling for safety, the actress expressed heartbreak and exhaustion.
For her, the tragedy wasn’t just a headline, it was a reminder of how vulnerable everyday Nigerians have become.
- AY: “Nigeria is turning into a crime scene”
Comedian AY Makun took a broader view, listing the disturbing pattern: Children kidnapped, christians attacked in church and a Brigadier General murdered.
“How did we get here?” he asked, questioning leadership and demanding both accountability and urgent action. Silence, he noted, is no longer an option.
- Cute Abiola: “We don’t want statements, we want action!”
Cute Abiola echoed the frustration of millions. He said Nigerians are tired of empty press statements and promises that fade within days.
That heartbreaking clip of an elderly woman running for her life, he said, symbolizes how unsafe Nigeria has become. The government, he urged, must show results, not empty promises.
- DJ Neptune: “Nowhere is safe anymore”
From a DJ who travels across cities, this hit differently. Neptune lamented how insecurity has spread nationwide and criticized the government for failing to fulfil its promise of ending insurgency. His call to “wipe out these devilish creatures” reflected a rising national anger.
- Aproko Doctor: “Human lives are being sacrificed”
Medical influencer Aproko Doctor delivered a stern, almost clinical assessment: The loss of life is not random, it is a direct failure of governance. Terrorism, he said, cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.
“Nigeria deserves better,” he wrote, urging the government to uphold its basic responsibility: protecting its people.
- Nathaniel Bassey: “Let judgment fall on the enemies of this nation”
For gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey, this is a spiritual battle as much as it is a national tragedy. Condemning the Kwara and Kebbi incidents, he prayed for divine judgment on terrorists and their sponsors.
Nigeria, he believes, is a great nation, one currently under siege. But with courage, willpower, and prayer, he insists, the tide can still turn.
What these celebrity reactions show is simple yet powerful: Nigerians are scared, tired, and desperate for change. And when most entertainers who usually stay neutral begin to speak with this much passion, you definitely know something is deeply wrong.
From prayers to protests, from tears to tough questions, these voices reflect the heartbeat of a country struggling to breathe. But they also echo one shared hope: Nigeria can and must be safe again.
