I am tired of hearing people blaming the celebs that supported Pres. Jonathan during his campaign, i.e. D'Banj, Genevieve, Banky W. The celebs did not put GEJ in power, we all did. I believe they meant well, they were sure GEJ was the right man for the job and they supported him. They are also allowed to say that they are not happy with the way he is not running the country. Now he's in power, we have to deal with this and work to make it better. In the words of GEJ, "this is a burden we all have to live with"

I am happy that these celebs are standing together with the masses and voicing their displeasure.

@jessejagz:Where are my fellow ariste friends today?? This is the ONLY important thing now.. No more songs or videos. Let's fight for us.. Nigeria

@seunkuti: Rally point is yaba bus stop. Time is 9am. Stand up against fuel subsidy removal. Stand up for Africa! Ki gbo gbo goodluck wa ma jo na tan.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Police Force is reported to have shot and killed one protester in Illorin.

President Jonathan, are you watching what is happening to your country? You are responsible for all this. Can you sleep well at night?
