Palm Sunday massacre: Reactions as actor Zuby Michael asks Christians to leave Jos

Nollywood actor Zuby Michael has sparked reactions after calling on Christians in Jos, Plateau State, to flee the city.

Michael made the call while reacting to the terrorist attack in the Angwan Rukuba area of the city on Sunday, where dozens of people were reportedly killed.

On his Instagram page, he wrote, “Christians should leave Jos.”

He, however, added that nemesis would eventually catch up with the terrorists.

His post elicited mixed reactions, with many arguing that it isn’t a solution, especially as most of the residents of the state are Christians.

Some of the reactions include: Jerryluck wrote, “Leave their ancestral land and go where? If it was happening in our Igbo land, would you advise we leave to the west or north? Christian communities should simply help them fight back. They need resources and support to fight back.”

Riyanxeally wrote, “Thank you, Eze, for always speaking loudly, but most of the people there have built everything in Jos. Where will they start from again? The government needs to do better.”

RechealJoseph said, “We will never leave our God-given land for anyone. We shall overcome whatsoever the enemies have planned in Jesus’ name.”

Ifemeludike wrote, “For what naw? Plateau originally is a Christian state. This is not even about religion but about the people being brave enough to push back bullies and terrorists and demand a proactive government. Most importantly, to vote for the right leaders.”

Ndagima Adu added, “The day we take religion and tribalism aside, we will start to see changes. We need to wake up and take our country back from bad government.”
