Nigerian comedian and media personality Aderombi Adedayo, popularly known as DeeOne, has criticised individuals calling for protests in the country, accusing them of hypocrisy and endangering the lives of young Nigerians.
He made this known in a video shared on his Instagram page on Thursday.
DeeOne questioned why protest organisers often keep their own families safe at home or abroad while urging other people's children to take to the streets. The comedian argued that if the people are truly tired, the families and friends of the organisers should be at the forefront of the demonstration.
He emphasised that Nigerians have become smarter and will no longer fall for what he described as brainwashing.
DeeOne challenged the organisers to bring out their own children to lead the protest, stating that he is someone else's child and demanding that they also sacrifice their own families for the cause.
He concluded by urging his followers to be vigilant and not allow themselves to be used.
He said:
"Anybody that calls for protest, let their family and friends be part of the protest. Enough of this brainwashing 'we are tired, we are tired'."
"If we're tired, let your family be part of the protest. Protest wey you go keep your own family for house, keep your family abroad, con dey sacrifice the lives of young Nigerians."
"Nigerians are now smarter than that nonsense. Put your children in front. Stop depending on people's children for protest. We are ready to protest, but let your children follow us. I am someone else's child; bring out your children too. Let every family donate their children for the protest. My people, shine your eyes oo, don't let them use you oo."
