Below is the letter by RISE
We the people form the Nation, not Dbanj nor GEJ! DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR ANGER and LET D'BANJ KNOW HE BETRAYED OUR GENERATION, though he’ll called it Business!
Tufiakwa! In a civilised Environment where the citizenry can draw a line between activism and action, where they are truly frustrated with consistent Vision-less and oppressive Leadership, where they are not making excuses for the worst of the pack just on the basis of sentiment, where the Youth, the bedrock of the nation cannot be taken on a wild goose chase and be flagrantly insulted by an over-ambitious young Man whose only obsession is to sing about his Sexuality with meaningless Cacophonic Sounds (Dbanj), people will revolt! What does that Boy know about Education, Employment, Exploitation.
I imagine Usher interviewing Obama in America where 25year Old Mark Zukerberg created Facebook?
Let them spend their N200m on the Concerts but LET NIGERIAN YOUTH ENSURE THEIR VENUES are empty so Dbanj can perform for only P-Square and Naeto C! Let Dbanj release a new album and let’s leave it to waste in Alaba!
Imagine if we don’t buy his CDs for the next one Year! Are we not the ones that made him a Star before GEJ noticed him! Odo to ba gbagbe Orisun e, aa gbe! Awon eeyan lasan ikeji aja! Won wo won ni awosunkun, awon n wo ara won ni aworerin!
CRAP!!!! Ojulowo Ijoba la n fe ke, awa o fe iranu! And YOU shld forward this ASAP!
Dbanj seems to have entered hot water… RISE is currently hosting a tv programme on Channels tv tagged ” nigeria’s 2011 election showdown – youth decide”
We are hoping someone at Rise Networks will come up and either accept or deny this unsigned write-up which from popular opinion is nothing but extremist, over blown and unnecessarily wicked
SAMPLED OPINIOINS

Adebola said... - Dbanj is a powerful musician that should have stayed Neutral, especially in a country like Nigeria, where everything has not worked and the ruling party have contributed to the people's suffering. He should have advised the youths to go out and vote, like Amara and Eldee and M.I have done, but obviously for selfish reasons he went ahead and endorsed Mr Jonathan and even Joined his Campaign team, he scored low on this one big time, very disappointed and after reading Eldee's version of the whole concert alot of people are very angry with Dbanj. Youths are meant to stand together in issues that affect us, am not saying Dbanj does not have the right to endorse Jonathan, but a party that have squared our resources for over 12yrs, he should have tread carefully. I personally am disappointed, Dbanj Idolize People like Fela and he knows what Fela stood for. There is a Youth debate tomorrow and Dbanj koko concert is on same day when other Presidential candidate will be there to tell us the plans they have for Nigeria, Dbanj and Mr President will be dancing our future away. Shame!!!

Entertainer l'omo and he has never lied otherwise....entertainers croon for whoever pays...and he who pays the piper gets to dictate the tune! Love him, Hate him, D'banj is just being real to himself o...most peeps need to learn the skill and mind their bizwax!
