Following the re-arrest of Nigerian activist, Omoyele Soworo which has sparked quite an outrage on the internet, Nigerian singer, Simi took to social media to condemn the actions taken by the DSS. However, a fan was not pleased.
She took to her Twitter page to call the arrest ridiculous and unnecessary. “This Sowore matter is sooooo ridiculous.”
However, a fan attacked her for tweeting more than taking action. This nosey fan explained that the Joromi hitmaker has a large platform and can use that as an avenue to lecture fans on politics.
“Yes it is Simi.But you can do more than tweet, you have a huge platform,u have followers,we can partner with you to give them a political education on why this act should not be condoned and what can be done about it.Our people need information, u can help spread it.We’ll provide.”
Simi then replied:
“Everytime ‘celebrities should go out’ – but u dnt have their back when they do. When u see the guns, u run. When their lives are on the line, u no dey. Who wants to die for ppl that don’t care. Why is som1 more qualified to fight cos they can act or sing? It’s everybody’s fight.”
