Nigerian musician Spyro has decided to step back from his entertainment engagements in light of the ongoing nationwide protests and has called upon religious leaders to intervene. Through his Instagram story, he expressed his belief that it would be inappropriate to share any form of entertainment content during these tumultuous times when the nation is in turmoil and everyone is deeply affected. He emphasized his empathy for the plight of the ordinary citizens and his refusal to stay silent.
Spyro encouraged all individuals with a platform to raise their voices, expressing hope that the government would finally heed the calls for change. He also urged religious figures to speak out, emphasizing the urgent need for their support during this critical period.
In his statement: “I personally think it is quite insensitive to post anything entertainment rn… The Country is bleeding and we all are affected whether or not we agree to that fact. I am very much affected, I particularly feel the pain of the average man and I don’t intend to keep mute so I am calling on everyone with a platform to speak up… I am hoping that the government will see our tears this time and take actual steps for the betterment of the people #GODBLESSNIGERIA
“I wish Men of God can speak up for the people now as it was in the days of old…This is not a time to PRAY, it is a time to ACT, even the Bible says “FAITH without WORKS is dead.” In the Bible days, men of God were strong tools that God used to challenge the government and liberate the people. MOSES, your people need you now.”
