That Nigerian ace rapper, Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman on Friday, June 13th, 2019 escaped death as he was attacked by some guys numbering four at a London restaurant is an established fact.
Be that as it may, Nigerians have taken to the social media en masse to share their various thoughts on the attack on the rapper with myriad of missed reactions. See below excerpts from Twitter…
@Adisa_flakky: “Ruggedman rescued by London police when Naira Marley followers attacked him at a restaurant for openly condemning Internet fraud in Nigeria.Naira Marley is still wanted by Lewisham Police, United Kingdom. I hope those thugs are arrested before dawn.”
@lamlloalade: “From my perspective, 1. Ruggedman uploaded the video on his IG by himself. 2. According to that video, no matter what you wouldn’t be looking unscathed even if you’re Jackie Chan3. How will they beat someone and the next hour you’re in your bed saying you’re alright?”
@Emmah199x: “I watched my guy get scammed of 272k yesterday, a Nigerian in Nigeria. Those little pieces of dogshit will say they are doing internet fraud to get back the money Americans stole from us. Ruggedman spoke up against them and got beaten. What’s even wrong with us.”
@BolaAde11: “So Ruggedman got attacked by touts in London for speaking up against someone publicly defending yahoo yahoo. This just proves the nature of our moral compass and how people have grown accustomed to unscrupulous acts as the norm.”
@oluwafemisosa: “That Naira Marley even has fans is a disgrace in the first place. Then some of them now had the audacity to beat up Ruggedman because he spoke against yahoo yahoo.”
@Zaddy_nomso: “When Ruggedman speaks against Politicians Looting & Police Brutality he is the Friend of the Youths but when he speaks against Fraudsters he is an enemy of the Youths. Youths suddenly want him to mind his business as nobody is Holy.The Hypocrisy Stinks.”
@sirleodasilva: “Just seeing the video of Ruggedman getting beat up. Let me tell you all this for free, as youths, until we start promoting and giving attention to the truth, justice and hard work, this country will never move forward. It’s not a curse, just facts.”
@UMEHoma: “The video where they allegedly beat Ruggedman and the one he later released saying he’s fine does not balance well. With the kind of planking he received, he should be wearing the bandage Lazarus wore out of the tomb.This a publicity stunt, period!”
@theboyishreat: “I just believe we need to stop over exaggerating this Naira Marley and Ruggedman issue, I watch both videos, the fight and Ruggedman appreciation to his fan. There is absolutely nothing that proves that it’s was Naira fans that attack Ruggedman. This is just not necessary.”
@efikedimkara: “Guys, Naira Marley fans attack Ruggedman in London.This is the generation of youths Nigeria is raising, youths who assault you for speaking against crime. We’re doomed.”
@flairamali: “Plot twist,RuggedMan pays boys to ‘beat’ him up and put it up on social media..He gets free publicity, pity and Naira Marley is seen as the bad guy.”
@therealdaddymo: “Pamilerin gets slapped by Peruzzi over an old tweet. Peruzzi gets crucified/sentenced by a panel of Twitter judges & everyone else? Ruggedman gets beaten up by Naira Marley fans in London & suddenly he deserves it because of what he did to Naira Marley?”
