In reaction to the xenophobic attacks going on in South Africa, 2face Idibia has called on Africans to free themselves from mental slavery.
In a social media post, 2face questioned why some quarters were attacking celebrities who didn’t speak up against the attacks.
According to him, the duty is not for celebrities alone but for all, because Mandela was not a celebrity before he started fighting for his people.
He wrote:
”I no be celebrity spokeman but it’s absurd to me that we are not facing the root cause of all this madness by some stupid and backward thinking south Afrcans but rather channeling the anger towards hard working africans that are doing their normal business of entertainment. If U can speak up, thats cool but i don’t get why u have 2 start coursing and harassing people who haven’t. YOU DON’T KNOW THEIR PAINS. Was mandela a celebrity b4 he started fighting for his people?
How can we AFRICANS get out of this massive mess is what we should collectively start seriously tackling.
Lets all stop pretending that we don’t know we are still seriously mentally enslaved through politics, media and religion.
We are fighting each other and instead of finding the main solution we are fighting more. Many artist are tired of shouting “Africa unite” from bob Marley to fela and many other greats till date.
Xenophobia is unacceptable and we must deal with it from the source.
If u get mouth use am. Celebrity or not”.
In another post, he wrote:
”All of us collectively. Its only blacks that don’t support black business!, jews, Indians every other support their own business first b4 any other. Only blacks don’t.
Mental slavery. Let this be a wake up call.
