Online social
networking got heated again as reactions pour out on President Goodluck
Jonathan’s interview session with ace entertainer, D’Banj. The goofy
interview which was aired on Silverbird Television on the night of
Thursday, March 17, 2011 has been drawing negative reactions, mostly
directed at D’Banj, real name Dapo Daniel Oyebanjo. While comments such
as “at one point D’Banj was almost kneeling to ask the President some
questions, and of course was nodding like an agama lizard even before
the President started giving his answers” are being posted on Facebook.

Many interpreted
the multiple awards winning D’banj’s behaviour during the interview to
“ass kissing” and named him a “sell out” as they criticised him for
taking up the interview in the first place. “D’banj helping the elites
destroy your future. One nod at a time,” twitter user rHuD_bOi tweeted.
And another tweeted “don’t be a Pawn. Don’t be a D’Banj. Be a Rebel.
Secure your future. Don’t let them fool you. D’banj is no Fela, no
Nkrumah, no Mandela.

D’Banj wasn’t available for comment and is yet to update his twitter profile.

President Goodluck
Jonathan, who came into office May 5, 2010 when his predecessor, Umaru
Yar’Adua died, is currently seeking election back into office under the
Peoples Democratic Party. He turned down an invitation to partake in
the National presidential debate hosted by NN24 alongside other
presidential aspirants including Nuhu Ribadu of Action Congress and
Mohammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change.
