Nollywood actor Zuby Michael has stirred widespread debate on social media after urging Christians in Jos, Plateau State, to leave the city following a recent attack.
The actor made the statement while reacting to the deadly incident in the Angwan Rukuba area on Sunday, where dozens were reportedly killed by suspected terrorists.
Posting on his Instagram page, Zuby wrote, “Christians should leave Jos,” adding that those behind the violence would eventually face justice.
His comment, however, triggered mixed reactions from Nigerians, with many disagreeing with his stance and describing it as impractical.
Several users argued that abandoning ancestral homes is not a viable solution. One user, Jerryluck, questioned the suggestion, asking where residents would relocate to, and insisted that affected communities need support to defend themselves.
Another commenter, Riyanxeally, acknowledged the actor’s concern but pointed out that many residents have built their lives in Jos, urging the government to take greater responsibility for security.
RechealJoseph maintained that residents would not abandon their “God-given land,” expressing faith that they would overcome the challenges.
Similarly, Ifemeludike noted that the crisis goes beyond religion, calling on citizens to stand against violence and demand accountability from leaders.
Adding to the conversation, Ndagima Adu emphasized the need for unity, urging Nigerians to move beyond religious and tribal divisions in order to address insecurity and governance issues.
The incident has once again highlighted growing concerns over insecurity in Plateau State and the broader need for lasting solutions.
