Is this a case of double standard, UnPatriotism and selfishness? why did she not go on live Tv to express her grievance then ?

The Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Electronic Media, Lauretta Onochie has, Tuesday, called on the pop star to come on national TV to state his “beef with Pres. Buhari” instead of going on national newspapers to make his grievances known.


According to her: “Nigerians would like 2Baba to explain the policies that he’s not happy with on National LIVE TV, as well as proffer alternative economic policies that would better serve all Nigerians. Not on newspapers that could have been written by anyone.”

And this is the woman condemning 2baba?

If N140/litre is more like a 419, how about N145/litre for PMS?

N500/litre for kerosene.



I don't know why people lose their sense when they are given one 'chicken' appointment.


As for me, I will join the 2baba protest not for anything but to protest against a failing government.


I will also tell Fayose to his face, he's one of the problems of Nigeria.


I call on youths to join this protest.


Enough is enough.


Keeping quiet in the face of oppression equals death.




Click like if you are tired of this government

she's irrelevant.

Fair weather politicians is Nigeria's main problem...they condemn any fair policies of government if they are out of favour.......and applaud every irrelevant and wicked policies if they are favoured...

Believe them at your own peril.........
Doublespeaking ....their trademark.

When we thought 2Baba's involvement in the protest had boosted its popularity, the President's media team just gave it another boost. First, 2 Baba was not the initiator of this protest, he only lent credence to it. So, why the attack on him?

Irrespective of whether he was sponsored or not, he has the right to protest and PMB's team need to realise that they are riding the same tyres previous media team rode on. You do not attack the messenger, focus on the issues. It is true that opposing parties try to take advantage of such protests but that does not mean equating every protest to being the handiwork of 'opposition'. Femi Adesina is still leading this wailers idea which I do not think is healthy. I would have expected a matured response where you dwell less on personalities - that is the real change!

Lauretta must have been thinking this is 2Face and not 2Baba. I noticed something - due to his use of English, 2Face was more of "nothing dey happen", "yes o!", "ehn ehn" and the likes when he gave interviews but 2Baba articulates his thought very well. All the same, in order to make headlines, the protesters must highlight their realistic demands as this is what will make the headlines.

“Nigerians would like 2Baba to explain the policies that he’s not happy with on National LIVE TV, as well as proffer alternative economic policies that would better serve all Nigerians. Not on newspapers that could have been written by anyone.”

This, IMO is a silly diversionary tactic. The guy can choose whatever means he desires - he could even decide to adopt the Eedris AbdulKareem approach. How many of us have written on newspapers? Even in the Cartoons section which we are told is PMB's 'page 1' 2Baba would not just go to a TV station to discuss policies he is not happy with, the conveners will. As a celebrity, his presence is what he is trying to magnify,
