Tuface, Charly Boy Blast Buhari Over Benue Massacre
Nigerian music legend, Tuface Idibia has added his voice on the herdsmen massacre in Benue State and other parts of the country. The Benue-born artiste called on President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to put their words into action and end the killings in the state.
Tuface disclosed this after his performance at the 2017 Sound City MVP awards held at Eko Hotel and Suites recently. He said: “On behalf of Benue people we cannot continue to sit down, enough is enough, abeg our government and security agencies should stop the killing in Benue, let them not just talk about the killings but take action”.
Another popular musician turned social activist, Chukwuelmeka Charles Oputa also known as Charly Boy has blasted President Buhari for not declaring Fulani herdsmen a terrorist group as Buhari was absent at the mass burial of 73 people killed by Fulani herdsmen in Logo and Guma Local Government Areas of the state.
Charly Boy questioned the absence of a government representative at the mass burial of 73 Nigerians massacred by Fulani herdsmen. The convener of Our Mumu Don Do movement wondered if the president’s silence could be in support of the massacre in Benue State.
In a video gone viral, the visibly angry outspoken maverick singer said: “they went to the East and gave us their python dance instructed by their master, they went to the West and gave us their crocodile smile, why are they not giving us our joromi dance in Benue State? Isn’t that where it’s needed most?”
“Check out the slaughtering of human beings, our brothers and sisters by the so called herdsmen who are above the Army. Are they this powerful because they are the private army of the oga on top?, why was there no government representative at the mass burial?, does the president’s silence mean consent or approval? Let’s go back to the grazing bill, why was it passed?, why was the IPOB group declared a terrorist organisation and not the herdsmen?, finally President Buhari, why are you not talking?”
The actress reacted after Yul appeared on The Honest Bunch Podcast, where he made comments that many listeners linked to his former marriage.
During the interview, Yul hinted that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggested those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Yul hints that certain things happened while he and May were still married and suggests those moments contributed to the decisions he later made.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.
According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.
Reacting to the interview, Sarah, in a post on her Instagram story, pointed out what she described as irony in Yul’s words—saying he wished May well while also making statements that could create doubt in people’s minds.
According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.
“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.
“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.
Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.
“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.
“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.
“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.
He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.
“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.
“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
