Their argument is these Nigerian artistes didn’t invite themselves, if there is anything like fairness, the government should arrest even the promoters. They should also arrest the concert investors. They want the government to arrest the OC who deployed officers to watch over the show because they were there.
A Pass tweeted that there is just no reason the artistes should appear before a magistrate for something they paid them to do.
“@temsbaby and @Omah_Lay Should be home, not in court before a magistrate for a negligent act likely to spread #covid19 they were booked to perform, they didn’t organize the concert, it’s the promoter. Free the artistes.” A Pass twitted.

A pass is not the only artiste who is pushing for this, even Rema Namakula also ran on her social media platform to ask the government to free Omar and his fellows.
“Free Omah lay, Free Tems. Uganda y’all breaking my heart on God 💔. Nigerian government SPEAK!” Rema tweeted.
What Nigerians are saying;
Some Nigerian artistes are crying out and pleading with Uganda Police to let their people go. On this trail, there is Burna boy, Davido among others. Buena Boy simply asked for the police to give back their people safely as Davido asked himself if artistes aren’t supposed to be trying to make life happen.
The criticism and backlash;
Much as there is so much solidarity from all artistes to free Omar and other artistes, some people think he deserved it. Cindy alias the King herself called him an idiot for performing in Uganda.
She obviously received a lot of backlash from her fans including Sheila Gashumba who said she was very disappointed.
Well, this situation is still on going especially because there has positive response from the police yet.
However there are a lot of pot holes in the case. Who organized the show? Who invited the artistes?

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
