Over 6,000 Nigerians have signed the petition against the
popular singer and actor Olawale Ibrahim Ashimi, better known as Brymo, over
his incessant anti-Igbo comments.
A man identified as Charles Ogundele, who launched the
petition against Brymo, urged Nigerians to sign the petition to ensure that the
singer is prevented from winning at 2023 All Africa Music Award, AFRIMA.
The singer, who has always made his stance known against the
Igbo part of the country, had been under fire for stating that an Igbo
presidency would only be a “pipe dream” due to the agitation for Biafra.
According to the petition, Brymo had recently put up a
series of hateful messages on his Twitter handle against the Igbo tribe in
Nigeria, going as far as retweeting a tweet that said that all Igbos are
senseless.
He further said, “F*ck The Ndi Igbo. To Hell With It.”
The All Africa Music Award had in November 2022 nominated
Brymo in the Song Writer of the Year category alongside musicians from other
African countries.
As voting is ongoing for the category, some Nigerians on
social media have continued to sign the petition to stop the singer from
winning the award. Citing his “hateful messages” against the Igbos, the
petition noted that not winning the award would send a strong message to Brymo.
