Nationwide Protest: Spyro Calls For Entertainment Break Among In The Entertainment Industry 

By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

Fast rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, popularly known as Spyro, has emphasized the need for entertainment break amidst the ongoing nationwide protest in the country.

Spyro's call for a break in entertainment is a deliberate solidarity with the protesters of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria.

The singer urged other artistes and celebrities in the entertainment industry at large to stand with the protesters to achieve a common goal.

The singer wrote a lengthy post on his Instagram story urging celebrities to show support for the protesters.

He wrote;
“I personally think it is quite insensitive to post anything entertainment 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 man.

“I don’t intend to keep mute so I’m 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

The singer also advised spiritual leaders to also lend their voices in order for the protest to be a success.

He wrote;
“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’s 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.”
