Popular Nigerian singer and skit maker Nasboi has launched a fierce attack on Nigerian bloggers, accusing them of deliberately ignoring his serious posts on national insecurity while amplifying trivial content to paint him as insensitive.
The entertainer, known for his outspoken nature on social media, expressed deep frustration over what he described as selective reporting that distorts public perception of celebrities who care about Nigeria’s challenges.
In a strongly worded Instagram post, Nasboi declared:
“There is no celebrity in Nigeria that talks about insecurity in our country more than me. You can check it on Twitter. But whenever I speak about it and also tweet normal things, the only tweets Nigerian bloggers pick are the random ones, while they ignore the important tweets. When they post those random tweets, people now think I’m insensitive.”
Nasboi questioned the priorities of bloggers, citing their heavy focus on celebrity gossip over pressing national issues.
“What is our business with the issue between Frank Edoho’s marriage? What concerns us about it?”
He accused many bloggers of actively distracting the public:
“When it comes to distracting the people, most bloggers do it. How many times have they amplified serious issues?”
Nasboi’s criticism comes as insecurity, including banditry and kidnapping, remains a major concern for many Nigerians.
