As the country struggles to come to terms with the extreme gruesomely murdered of the students by some illiterate mob from Omuokere Aluu community, Rivers State, Nigerian celebrities have decided not to stay mute on the matter.

Please read their comments:



 Jim Iyke (Nollywood Actor)

Someone needs to remind me again we are in a democratic society. We act like these reprehensible acts of senseless waste of precious lives is in a civil war. Our sweep-it-under-the-carpet and move on syndrome is taking us at an unprecedented height. We need to rise up as an entity and decry this evil in our security system or it will take us all under in the wake of its tide. I’m not a doomsday messenger but it’s easy to see where this propensity is leading us.

Honorable Tony One-Week (Nollywood Actor and Musician)

It is a shame that in year 2012, we still experience what happened to these Uniport students that were illegally murdered based on allegation. A man is deemed innocent until he is found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. I solidly stand with other concerned Nigerians to condemn this action in totality. This is barbaric jungle justice. Government must stand up to its job of securing life and property. Too bad.



Yemi Blaq (Nollywood Actor)

I think it is absolute barbarian: And anyone who kills in the name of any course is a murderer. My heart is broken.

 Okey Bakassi (Nollywood Actor/Comedian)

What we are experiencing today in Nigeria as exemplified by the Uniport killings is a demonstration of the collapse of the entity called Nigeria. It’s a failure of leadership at all levels: Executive, Judicial, Legislative, Religious, Cultural, etc., people are slow to love and quick to hate. The world is becoming more sophisticated in the act of wickedness. Where were the police all through the ordeal of those boys? In this GSM era…all those who supervised the barbaric killings of those young boys probably claim to know God. Shame on us all.
  


Jennifer Eliogu (Nollywood Actress)

Justice must take its course.

Grace Amah (Nollywood Actress)

The incident was traumatizing, horrendous, barbaric, despicable, geeky and simply wicked to have taken place at this level of development of the human race. If nothing is done to stop this high level of barbarism in our land, it will add to the image challenges Nigeria is facing and puts a question mark on the leadership of the University authorities in Nigeria. We have laws, why wouldn’t the laws be applied where students infringe on them in matters as ordinary as stealing phones and laptops at a time our national source of economic growth-the oil is being stolen daily and the toil thieves are celebrated. Nigerians are waiting to get an answer from the authorities of the University of Port Harcourt and Jonathan government as to why such future in those young men will be wasted for nothing.

The gory video/pictures of how this four young lads were lynched can best be descibed as dispicable. I have been in a state of bewilderment since. However, I have tried to wonder how we got to the place we are as a people. A country where greed and ostentatiousness is the order of the day. A country where you can easily buy the conscience of the police. A society where justice can be purchased by the highest bidder. A society where everything is always swept under the carpet. What do we expect? That is why the law of the jungle prevails. Human have become beastially because of our inordinate desires and disregard for one another. Honestly we are living in an Hobbessian world( where life is so short, brutish and nasty), Everywhere corner you go in the country, you see and smell decay in all facet of things. How did we get here? Its a question we must all answer.
