Nigerian Musician Blackface Urges Protesters to Conduct Themselves Peacefully
Veteran dancehall singer Augustine Ahmedu Obiabo, better known as Blackface, has added his voice to the ongoing nationwide protests in Nigeria, urging participants to conduct themselves peacefully.
In a statement on his social media page, Blackface emphasized that Nigerians are suffering and that the protest is justified. However, he also stressed the importance of safety, warning protesters against destroying or vandalizing properties.
"My people, I know things are rough and tough and yes, we deserve better from our politicians in power enriching themselves while we, the people, have very little to get by!" Blackface wrote. "As we protest, please stay safe, as your life is important, and don’t go destroying people’s properties."
Blackface’s message comes as thousands of Nigerians continue to take to the streets to demand change from their government. The protests, which began in response to widespread poverty, corruption, and human rights abuses, have gained international attention and support.
As the situation in Nigeria continues to unfold, Blackface’s words of caution and encouragement are a timely reminder of the importance of peaceful protest and the need for protesters to prioritize their safety and the safety of others.
