Ezinwa Sandra Ify Has Decided to stand up to her
feet to support the Protest which is being pulled
by legendary 2baba, in a peice of article shared
on her social media platform she express her
take on this protest.
In the words of Fela Anikulapo kuti,Music is the
weapon.But when Music fails to get to the target
audience for some reasons which primarily could
be because of the genre of music or the conveyed
messages getting beclouded by the melodious
tone of a musical piece,it is absolutely not out of
place for a "mere musician" as some people put
it to carry out much more serious demonstrations
like the Tuface protest to be carried out on the
6th of February 2017 at the National stadium
surulere Lagos.

Apparently,there has been criticisms,really
Unconstructive ones against the movement; so
many but I found one really by a Nigerian
professor;he said "you're a bloody illiterate,You
had sex with all manners of girls without using
condoms.You impregnated them and made
babies all over the place;now you want to lead
protest against the government because of lack of
governance.Have you governed your own
personal life?Charity they say begins at
home,Nonsense" We seem to Forget,Fela Kuti,the
Nigerian multi-instrumentalist,musician,pioneer of
the Afro beat music genre,human right activist
and political maverick,the Man with 27 wives;who
came from prison and divorced the 12 that were
still with him with countless numbers of
children;A man seen today as a hero and
celebrated till date with a shrine built in his
memory which serves as the host location of the
annual felabration festival.
Now,I do not intend to
compare the life of Fela to that of Tuface but I
know that people with common sense can tell
that if the moderacy of a person's sexual life is
truly a yardstick for measuring how much sense
a person makes as our Professor claims,one who
can listen & support to Fela Kuti's movement
would support even more to Tuface Idibia's! We
live in a country whose media is immensely
influenced by politics.
Today,news reflects the ideological biases of the
journalists and those who are not in support of
the present government are vilified just like
Governor Fayose;which makes only the brave
hearted to stand and speak out while the
sycophants who obviously have one or two to
gain and the chicken-hearted smile and suffer
hoping for the change that will never come!
Everyone has their own role to play;it's either you
play the brave hearted or the chicken hearted and
ofcourse the sycophants too,it is yours to decide
but what's unfair and foolish to do is to condemn
and even try to go as far as boycotting the plans
of brave hearted as Bovi the comedian tweeted.
To people who perceive this movement as a
publicity stunt,To the people who think Tuface is
a tool used by the PDP and to the people who
are amazed at his "supposed" sudden interest in
politics,I refer you to a single he released in 2014
"vote and not fight"(election no be war) with
this,you can tell that he's always indeed got the
interest of the masses at heart as well as righting
the wrongs through music!Oh yes,I bet you never
heard the song cos we all know the kind of
Musics that makes a Hit in the Industry of today!
It is 2017,the situation has gone past Music as a
weapon.It is time we stood our ground firmly for
indeed,nothing is getting better and just like
Tuface Idibia said "We have been poor and
desperate "This truly isn't the change we voted
for However,there is indeed no cause for alarm as
it is a peaceful demonstration. Stand up Nigeria! 🇳🇬
Stand up for the real change! Stand up!
