DJ SWITCH DRAGS JOE IGBOKWE: “HISTORY WILL REMEMBER YOUR SILENCE, NOT MINE”
Nigerian DJ and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has issued a sharp response to All Progressives Congress (APC) member Joe Igbokwe, following his criticism of her reaction to the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari passed away in London on Sunday, July 13, 2025, after a prolonged illness.
After the news broke, DJ Switch took to Instagram with a post that read: “Wow! The sweet reality of inevitability. RIP MF. One down.”
Igbokwe reacted on Facebook, condemning her comment and alleging that her previous statements had harmed Nigeria. He wrote, “So the ugly and nauseating lady is still talking. She has not realized the damage she did to Nigeria with her utterance. This lady needs help. She must have gone kolos.”
In a fiery rebuttal, DJ Switch accused Igbokwe of being disconnected from the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians. She criticized him for defending what she described as a violent and oppressive administration, while condemning those who stood up against it.
She wrote:
“The only thing more embarrassing than your spelling is thinking silence in the face of murder, hardship and injustice is dignity. We faced bullets for justice. What did you ever face besides spell check and senility?
You watched a government murder its youth and your only outrage is that I lived to tell the story? You think my words damaged Nigeria? No, grandpa—your silence did. Your cowardice did!
You are defending killers but attacking survivors. Don’t worry, history is already writing your name in the footnotes—under failure. Imagine being so useless to justice that the voice of a woman surviving Nigeria threatens your whole existence.”
