Nollywood actor Zuby Michael has stirred controversy after urging Christians in Jos, Plateau State, to leave the city in the wake of a recent attack.
The actor made the comment on Instagram while reacting to the violence in the Angwan Rukuba area, where dozens of residents were reportedly killed on Sunday. In his post, he advised Christians to relocate, while expressing hope that those responsible for the attack would eventually face consequences.
His statement quickly drew mixed reactions online, with many Nigerians rejecting the suggestion as impractical and misplaced. Critics argued that leaving ancestral homes is not a viable solution, particularly in a region where a significant portion of the population shares the same faith.
Some commenters stressed the need for stronger community support and improved security measures, rather than displacement. Others pointed to the responsibility of government authorities to protect lives and address the root causes of recurring violence.
Several voices also called for unity beyond religious and ethnic lines, urging citizens to demand accountability and more effective leadership in tackling insecurity.
The exchange has added to ongoing national conversations about safety, governance, and how best to respond to persistent attacks in parts of the country.
