Nigerian social commentator De General has stirred online reactions after expressing doubt over the effectiveness of protests in addressing insecurity in the country.
In a widely shared post, he argued that street protests have historically failed to produce meaningful change, insisting that Nigerians should instead focus on securing free and fair elections.
He said:
“Staging a protest about the ins£curities going on in Nigerian won’t do anything, the last time we protested, nothing happened. I don’t believe in protest, they should just give us free and fair election”
The statement immediately triggered mixed reactions across social media, with users divided between frustration, agreement, and political criticism.
