A group of Imo entertainers has called for the return of peace in the state in a recent video shared on social media.
The group through a powerful message said that the recent spate of violence in the state has robbed them of their source of livelihood as the death of nightlife has also translated to the death of entertainment in the state.
Blogger, Chinedu Hardy Nwadike who mobilized for the video said that anyone who says that they are not affected by the recent happenings in the state is a big liar, adding that it is more reason for all hands to be on deck in restoring Imo State to its former glory.
“People used to love coming here, but recently even people who live here are looking for ways to relocate”, Hardy who is the president of Imo State Bloggers Association said.
“Peace is one thing we are celebrated for and our thriving hospitality and entertainment industry have been running on that celebrated peaceful nature of the state”
“People are now afraid of going out in the night and there are lots of lies out there as to what is happening, what has happened, and what will happen. The entire panic created at the end of the day has hurt us and our businesses he said”
Chinedu Hardy Nwadike said that as the biggest beneficiaries of peace in the state, it is important entertainers lead the way in this call, adding that even at the end of the violence, it will take a lot of work from the government, security agents, individuals, and civil societies to make people outside understand that the state is back to what it used to be.
The video featured Petronilla, Dj NonnyRay, Chuma Mmeka, Dj Blaze McBede, Quingist, Adamazi, Uzochukwu Nkweatu, Hon. Chukwunonye Irouno, Owerri Chic (Cindy Raymond), Acharaman and Mc Duke.
