Nollywood actress Onyi Alex has stirred fresh political conversations online after criticizing some influential Igbo businessmen and celebrities for openly associating with political figures connected to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s camp.

Her reaction followed the growing visibility of personalities such as Obi Cubana and Cubana Chiefpriest, whose recent appearances and affiliations with a political movement linked to Seyi Tinubu generated mixed reactions across social media.

Actress Questions Political Loyalty

Speaking emotionally about the issue, Onyi Alex expressed disappointment over what she sees as repeated acts of disloyalty among some members of the Igbo community.

The actress suggested that betrayal within the ethnic group has become so common that it no longer surprises her.

In a strongly worded remark, she drew a biblical comparison while lamenting what she described as the willingness of some individuals to align themselves with political interests despite growing concerns in the South-East.

Security Concerns Raised

The movie star also referenced insecurity across parts of the South-East, arguing that many residents now live with fear due to rising attacks and instability in the region.

According to Gossip News Now, she questioned why some wealthy and influential individuals would continue to publicly support political structures they believe have not adequately addressed the safety challenges facing their people.

She pointed out that many prominent figures now avoid traveling by road because of security fears, choosing air travel instead whenever they return home.

Warning To Political Allies

Beyond criticizing the endorsements, Onyi Alex warned that political alliances built at the expense of one’s community could eventually backfire.

She suggested that those abandoning the interests of their people for political acceptance may later discover that the same circles they support may never fully trust or embrace them.

Her comments quickly triggered intense reactions online, with supporters applauding her boldness while critics argued that political choices should remain personal rather than ethnic.

Social Media Reactions Intensify

The controversy has since sparked widespread debate across entertainment and political spaces, especially among young Nigerians discussing ethnic loyalty, governance, and celebrity influence in politics.

Some social media users defended the businessmen involved, insisting that individuals should be free to associate with any political movement of their choice without being attacked.

Others, however, agreed with Onyi Alex, maintaining that influential figures from the South-East should prioritize the concerns and welfare of their region before aligning with national political interests.

Commentary And Analysis

The reaction from Onyi Alex reflects the deeper political and emotional divisions currently shaping conversations in Nigeria, especially within the South-East.

Celebrity involvement in politics continues to attract strong public attention because many Nigerians view entertainers and business leaders as influential voices capable of shaping public opinion.

Analysts believe the controversy also highlights how insecurity and regional frustrations are increasingly influencing political discussions beyond traditional party structures.

As political realignments ahead of future elections continue to evolve, public figures may face growing pressure to explain where they stand and why they choose certain alliances.
