– The British Prime Minister recently described Nigeria as a “fantastically corrupt” nation alongside Afghanistan
– According to Freeze, Cameron and his family are corrupt hence he has no moral powers to criticize Nigeria

Veteran radio host Freeze has addressed the recent remarks from British Prime Minister David Cameron wherein he labeled Nigeria a “fantastically corrupt” country alongside Afghanistan.
On Wednesday, May 11, the broadcaster took to his Instagram page to call out Cameron saying he has no right to address Nigeria as such when he is from a corrupt family himself and has been involved in corrupt practices at one point or another.
Freeze specifically mentioned the infamous case of the Panama Papers where Ian Cameron, David’s father, was involved in running an offshore fund as well as tax evasion for 30 years.

He wrote: “Dear David, when you get to hell, help me greet your fantastically corrupt dad!
“I can’t believe that you, a man whose father was implicated in the Panama papers saga and this same you were asked by the opposition to resign because you owned shares in the alleged company that was involved, are now calling Nigeria corrupt???
“John 8:7 KJV So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
“The qualification required to call someone corrupt, is to be absolutely corruption free yourself.
“I wish my president was from the ghetto so he could bitch slap your punk ass and turn you bright pink.
But then again….. He wouldn’t want to stain his palms.~FRZ”
Those were angry words in response to David Cameron but Freeze has always maintained a vocal stance on sociopolitical happenings in the nation.
On Monday, March 14, he spoke on formerly imprisoned Nollywood actress Ibinabo Fiberesima explaining that the embattled actress should be pardoned in order not to deprive her children of her care as well as traumatize them with her absence. He added that the jail sentence could put a blot on the entertainer’s image as well with the tag of ‘ex-convict’.
On April 21, he gave his two cents on the lingering drama between Nollywood actress Toyin Aimakhu and her ex-lover Seun Egbede adding that the actress deserves to get an aplogy for all that has transpired between the pair.
On Tuesday, April 26, he gave his candid opinion on the issue of Fulani herdsmen and the violence in their wake, a situation which has been a source of worry as it could spark national crisis among other things.
On April 28, he made his first statement on the Tiwa-Tee Billz issue via a post on his social media account wherein he expressed disbelief in the situation, adding that Tee Billz is a wonderful person and he hopes the situation between the couple is not true.
On Monday, May 1, he discussed the infamous marriage crisis between Tiwa Savage and Tee Billz stating that while the online audience were taking sides with differing viewpoints on the crisis, it must be stated that neither of Tiwa nor Tee Billz can win in the situation.
He urged them to reconcile for the sake of their baby Jamil if for nothing else.
