Femi Durojaiye Joins Protests, Criticizes Pro-Government Colleagues
Nollywood actor Femi Durojaiye has joined the nationwide #EndBadGovernance protests, criticizing his colleagues who have sided with the government. In an interview at the protest in Ojota, Lagos, Durojaiye condemned certain Nigerian actresses who supported the government but are now facing backlash from the public. He pointed out that many of these actresses have turned off their social media comment sections to avoid criticism, highlighting how they are now hiding from the anger of Nigerians.
Durojaiye passionately reaffirmed his commitment to the cause, stating that he and others who believe in change are prepared to sacrifice their lives if necessary to end bad governance. The protests, which began on August 1, 2024, are a response to widespread dissatisfaction with governance and increasing hunger in Nigeria. Unfortunately, the demonstrations have resulted in clashes between police and local miscreants in several states, including Abuja, Lagos, Kano, and Borno.
