Spyro calls for entertainment break amid nationwide protest, urges action from religious leaders
Nigerian singer-songwriter Spyro has made a bold call for a pause in the entertainment industry, urging religious leaders to leverage their influence to address the ongoing nationwide protests.
In his Instagram story, Spyro expressed his thoughts, suggesting an entertainment break and calling for intervention from religious leaders.
He emphasized that posting anything entertaining at this moment is insensitive, as the country is in crisis and everyone is affected.
Spyro shared that he deeply feels the pain of the average person and has no intention of remaining silent. He urged everyone with a platform to speak up, hoping the government would listen this time.
He also called on religious leaders to speak out, stating that their people need them now more than ever.
In his words: “I personally think it is quite insensitive to post anything entertaining right now… The country is bleeding, and we are all affected whether we agree to that fact or not. I am very much affected, and I particularly feel the pain of the average person. I don’t intend to keep mute, so I am calling on everyone with a platform to speak up… I hope the government will see our tears this time and take actual steps for the betterment of the people. #GODBLESSNIGERIA
“I wish men of God would speak up for the people now as they did in the past. This is not a time to pray; it is a time to act. Even the Bible says ‘faith without works is dead.’ In biblical times, men of God were strong tools that God used to challenge the government and liberate the people. MOSES, your people need you now.”
