Yul Edochie ridiculed for discouraging protest amid hardship

Nigerian actor, Yul Edochie faces backlash following his advice to Nigerians not to protest against the economic hardships in the country.

It is worth noting that there have been speculations of a protest reportedly scheduled for the 29th of July across the country.

On July 19, 2024, the controversial actor took to Instagram to urge Nigerians to exercise patience and continue speaking out rather than protesting.

“I acknowledge the hardships. Protest is not the answer. People take advantage of protests to break into other people’s shops, steal, destroy properties, hurt and kill innocent Nigerians who are already going through a lot. In the end, the aim of the protest will be defeated. Remember what happened during End Sars.”

“Protest is not the answer. Let’s be patient. Let’s keep speaking out and doing all we can to help out. President Tinubu listens and he’s doing all he can to make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient,” Edochie urged.

However, his followers and other Instagram users criticised and disapproved of his advice.
