\n“Dear @NCDCgov your Ambassador Funke Akindele, Her Husband JJC, Eniola Badmus, Naira Marley & the Entire Family threw a packed House Party Ystd. I love Funke & have nothing against her but Everyone in that House should be Forcefully Quarantined. Pls treat as Urgent”<\/p>\n

@Kusakells
\nThose guys are scene one production members, they have been staying together before the lockdown….They live together!<\/p>\n

@mayor_b9
\n“Woke up to the video of Funke Akindele\u2019s house party and all I can say is we don\u2019t value life in this country.
\nGovt is doing everything possible to curb this but as a celebrity and NCDC ambassador, you go on to put people\u2019s life at risk?
\nArrest everyone fgs!”<\/p>\n

@Danny_walterr
\n“See the Crowd at Funke Akindele\u2019s Party with Naira Marley in attendance, Eniola Badmus and people who just barely returned from the UK
\nThe height of irresponsibility!”
\nYou know what comes next after this, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

@Ohloowatoscene
\n“Isn\u2019t same Funke Akindele that did advert for Dettol and NCDC concerning this Coronavirus pandemic?
\nHow irresponsible can she and her husband be…. I think sense is far away from those we call our celebrities. \ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd26\u200d\u2642\ufe0f”<\/p>\n

\n“Funke Akindele will come to social media, write long Shalaye notes, give boring excuses, beg for sympathy, and also promise to SuPpOrT NCDC iN fIgHtInG cOvId 19 wItH aLl HeR iNfLuEnCe”.<\/p>\n

@Dahveydson
\n“While you bash Funke Akindele, have in mind that the party was done in her house and attended by her neighbours observing the lockdown in Amen estate”.<\/div>\n

\n@feraljack_<\/div>\n
\n“Some of us said it was wrong to use Funke Akindele in that NCDC video, una say no, people look up to her, I hope you know the party she organized yesterday sent a message to those people who \u201clook up to her\u201d that Coronavirus is not that serious?”<\/div>\n

\n@cliqik
\n“NCDC Ambassador
\n-Dettol Ambassador
\n-Did two awareness videos on social  distancing.
\nYet, Funke Akindele Invited Eniola Badmus and Naira Marley who returned from the UK into her house, as if that wasn’t enough, she threw a full house party.
\nThis level of recklessness is insane!”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n@Tife_Fabunmi<\/div>\n
\n“It\u2019s actually disappointing when we see educated people act like illiterates.<\/div>\n
\nImagine a NCDC ambassador who is aware of what\u2019s right and still doing the opposite<\/div>\n
\nEven if you don\u2019t care about your own health, what about those that attended the party? Funke Akindele messed up mehn”.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n@NotjustSalmanPR<\/div>\n
\n“Sydney pranked us he got away with it. If the government doesn\u2019t arrest everyone that attended that Funke Akindele\u2019s house party, Maybe everyone should just go back to their normal lives and let the virus kill all of us \ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2642\ufe0f\ud83e\udd37\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2642\ufe0f”<\/div>\n

\n@Danny_walterr<\/div>\n
\n“Even if Funke Akindele and her husband doesn\u2019t care about themselves, they should do it for their Twins. Their Survival depends on their parents using their heads.<\/div>\n
\nI don\u2019t even touch people in my house anymore, talk more of Strangers. Highly disappointing”<\/div>\n

\n@iSlimfit
\n“It’s gross irresponsibility for Funke Akindele, who should know better as an ambassador of the @NCDCgov, to throw a party in this delicate period. Practice what you preach ffs! What message are you passing to your followers? “Coronavirus is not that serious”?<\/p>\n

@OlisaOsega
\n“What Funke Akindele and the husband did was highly irresponsible, I expected both of them to know better. How can you organize a house party with so many people in attendance at this time when social distancing is very important. It\u2019s disappointing really”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n@JohnFanimokun<\/div>\n
\n“An ambassador of GOOD HYGIENE hosted a party during this pandemic, invited Eniola who just arrived from UK to her home,& you still don’t believe that some devilish spirits are controlling D Nigeria celebrities<\/div>\n
\nFunke Akindele & everyone in Dat house party are all Stupid & Useless”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n@SMiTHiE___
\n“Funke Akindele is a NCDC ambassador and she threw a party”
