THE TWO FACES OF TUFACE?

Tuface Idibia posted a video on online mobile photo-sharing site Instagram late Saturday night explaining the reason for canceling the One Voice Nigeria protest scheduled for Monday, January 6, 2017.

“After due consultations, it has become clear that the One Voice Nigeria protest scheduled to hold in Lagos and Abuja on Monday, 6th February is under serious threat of hijack by interests not aligned with our ideals.

“The point I intend on making is not worth the life of any Nigerian. It is motivated by the need to demand a better deal for the ordinary Nigerian.

“I therefore announce the cancellation of the planned protest … I appreciate the massive support and I am convinced our voices have been heard,” he said.

2Face who had called for the protests last month to demand solutions to Nigeria’s crises received backlash from government officials and later a warning by police who called for a halt of the protest in Lagos for security reasons.
“Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest and as such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos,” Lagos State police commissioner, Fatai Owoseni warned on Thursday.

2Face’s cancellation of the protest came as a surprise to supporters especially after earlier insisting on holding the protest despite the warning from police.

Here's what people have to say concerning this:

“U shouldn’t have started this in the first place. U will never be forgotten for being a coward,” a comment on the video read.

“Illiterate greedy 2face. You wanted to be an activist. Did you read up on the civil right movement? Or on people like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela? Did you even study the constitution of Nigeria? It’s your legal right to hold a protest,” said another comment.

Meanwhile, 2Face had support for calling off the protest including from one follower who commented: “Tuface that helped raise awareness is a ‘coward’ but you that did nothing are not? Do you now see why Nigeria has so few helpers? Who would want to die for a people who specialize in stoning their defenders and hailing their oppressors?”

Innocent 2Face Idibia said in the video post that further information will be shared in due cause.

Nigeria continues to suffer from recession and economic crises as a result of falling oil prices among others. More revelations have also emerged on the real reason the music star, Innocent Ujah Idibia, otherwise known as 2face canceled his planned nationwide protest.
2baba shocked many of his fans when he took to his Instagram page to announced the cancellation of the much-talked about protest, citing security concerns.
However, findings by DAILY POST reporter revealed that his mother, Mrs. Rose Idibia was behind the cancellation of the protest.

The nationwide protest to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to the untold hardship the current administration has subjected the nation to. Following the announcement, the federal government warned him to rather express his grievances via a national broadcast instead of organizing a protest at a time the security situation in the nation was unstable.
The Lagos State police command had also vowed to stop the protest, claiming that the singer never took permission from them.
An insider hinted this newspaper that 2face’s mum who doubles as Vice Principal at Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi Abuja warned his son to hands off the protest.

His mum was behind the cancellation of the protest. She was angry because 2baba
(Innocent) never asked for her opinion before he went on air to announce the protest. His mother summoned him and asked him to call it off because he has nothing to gain from it, rather he would buy enemies for himself,” a source said.

Veteran entertainment personality and the self-style ‘Area Father’ Charles Oputa a.k.a. Charly Boy is well known for his social activism and he was one of the first celebrated artistes to back the African Queen crooner on his mission to embark on a nationwide protest.
On hearing that the singer had backed out, citing security and public safety concerns, the Area Father reacted and mocked “ The struggle to overcome political insanity, audacious impunity and mindless looting in Nigeria took a negative hit last night not just because Tuface Idibia called off the 6th of February, 2017 protest; because most of the demons we are fighting against hijack the people’s protest and anger at the establishment.”
In his lengthy post to reaffirm his commitment to start a new onslaught against the state of the nation, Charly Boy, said, “Now we retreat to regroup and replan and we will lock hands to synchronise our objectives. For me, it is #ALUTAETERNAL, because If we no plan well things no go work well. No be everybody get that kin heart to stand tall when jungle mature. The real tsunami it’s coming, and no doubt I will be on the front line. I will take the
First Bullet; let my body be the first to drop; Let my Blood be the first to
wash our LANDS.

His full post reads as thus: The TuFace Cancelled Protest. The Struggle to
overcome Political Insanity, Audacious impunity and Mindless looting in
Nigeria took a Negative hit last night not just because Tuface Idibia called off
the 6th of February, 2017 Protest; because most of the demons we are
Fighting against hijack the Peoples Protest and Anger at the Establishment.
We must not Trivialize the Struggle because it is the Emancipation of the
Nigerian Mind. President Muhammadu Buhari is not the Problem of the
Nigerian State and this is not excusing his Failures. The Nigeria Political Elite
are Vampires Feeding off the Blood of a Willing and Docile Populace. They
Loot Because we Hail; The Celebration of Ibori in Delta State Yesterday and
Across the Country Typifies the Insanity of our Stupidity and eternal Problem
of the Nigerian Struggling Populace.

Now we retreat to regroup and replan and we will lock hands to synchronise
our objectives. For me, it is #ALUTAETERNAL, because If we no plan well
things no go work well. No be everybody get that kin heart to stand tall when
jungle mature. The real tsunami is coming, and no doubt I will be on the
front line. I will take the First Bullet; let my body be the first to drop; Let my
Blood be the first to wash our LANDS.
Will the Nigeria youth back a Full Blooded Peaceful Political Mass Revolution
at the Federal, State and Local Government Level? I doubt. But, I no go give
up on my children, The Coalition of the Frustrated, Angry and Hungry, as well
as this country that I love. We must sustain the pressure and cannot turn
back as the Revolution Continues. We must begin to resist political
insensitivity and mindless looting of our common wealth.

I, AreaFada will fight so fear will no longer cripple my people. Our MUMU don
reach last bus-stop. And before we go start to chop sand sand, we go enter
street and purge our lands of political dictatorship, oppression, poverty and
corruption.
We must not walk/work alone or we will fail miserably. The Nigerian politician
is our eternal enemy; The Nigerian people are the willing victim and it is time
to channel our angero peacefully towards making governance work work for
us not against us.
