Your Silence Did More Damage Than My Words” — DJ Switch Fires Back at Joe Igbokwe Over Buhari Death Post

Nigerian disc jockey and activist, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, popularly known as DJ Switch, has issued a fiery response to All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Joe Igbokwe after he criticized her reaction to the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari.

DAILY POST earlier reported that Buhari passed away in London on Sunday, July 13, 2025, after a prolonged illness.

Reacting to the news, DJ Switch shared a provocative message on her Instagram page, writing:

“Wow! The sweet reality of inevitability. RIP MF. One down.”

The post drew backlash from Igbokwe, who took to Facebook to lambast the DJ.

“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,” he wrote.

In a sharp rebuttal, DJ Switch accused Igbokwe of being disconnected from the harsh realities Nigerians face, especially under the leadership he supported. She condemned his defense of a government she holds responsible for violence against its youth.

“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?”

She continued:

“You watched a government murder its youth and your only outrage is that I lived to tell the story? You think my utterance damaged Nigeria? No, grandpa—your silence did. Your cowardice did!”

“You are defending killers but attacking survivors. Don’t worry—history is 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.”

The exchange has sparked a heated debate online, with many Nigerians weighing in on both sides.
