Actor Yul Edochie Cooked After Advising Nigerians Not To Protest Over Hardship
Nollywood movie star, Yul Edochie, has faced criticisms after he urged people to dialogue and not protest over the ongoing economic hardships.
The controversial actor took to Instagram on July 19, 2024, to advise Nigerians to exercise patience and continue speaking out instead of protesting.
He went on to remind citizens of the violent outcomes of the last protest during END SARS in 2021, which sparked further anger among social media users.
He wrote, “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 put make things right. Fellow Nigerians, let’s be patient. YUL EDOCHIE”.
His advice, however, was welcomed with great disapproval from his followers and sparked intense criticism from Instagram users. Some reactions are shown below:
