Mo Abudu, D’banj, Ali Baba… Nigerian celebrities condemn Libya slave auctions

Following the report of Africans being sold into slavery in Libya, Nigerian celebrities have taken to various social media platforms to condemn the act.

Ali Baba, Mo Abudu, Wizkid, Davido, Eldee, Reekado Banks, Dbanj, Cynthia Morgan are some of those who have criticised the trend.

Here are their reactions:

As we all get riled up by the @cnnafrica reports on #slavery in #Libya I hope we also get riled up about all other forms of slavery that exists on the continent and beyond. Some folks will argue and try to defend their slavery actions and activities but if you listen to their arguments, it will be very similar to those of the Libyans who purchase those slaves. We must recognize it for what it is, redirect some of our anger towards Libya, and change our ways in general as humans. —————————————— Btw, #NigerianAmericanPodcast returns this week.

There comes a time when silence is criminal. #Stoptheslavetrade #slavetrade is a #nono #libya #shame #worldmustunite "In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Good Morning Mr President @muhammadubuhari we hope you slept well sir. we are yet to hear from you on the supposed troops we are sending to Libya to free our people. #thankyousir ✊🏾 also urging @daddyfreeze to call on all our pastors…. Slavery is a great sin against Christ and his followers… and we must all send our private jets and chattered planes to go get our people from Libya. #Realmissiontime #Cometogether #Helpus

..While we’re on the topic of slavery in Libya, I hope we also find time to reflect on the slavery & human trafficking in many of our African homes as well. Those”house-helps” from Benin/Togo whose masters get paid 10k every month to do chores from dusk till dawn. #Slavery

We must take a stand against ALL forms of Slavery. It is not only slavery when it is against black people by other races, it is also slavery when it is black on black. Take a stand today, tell your friend, your family & your neighbors to let go of their slaves. #slavery
