Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Sabinus, has criticised the treatment of Nigerians who demand good governance, questioning why citizens are discouraged from speaking up about the country’s challenges.
The comedian expressed his concerns in a social media post on Tuesday, lamenting that Nigerians who demand accountability are often told to mind their business, while those who stay away from public affairs are still subjected to insults.
He questioned when Nigerians would unite to demand accountability and the rights and benefits they believe they are being denied by those in positions of authority.
Sabinus wrote: “A lot is going on in this country and we’re just keeping quiet. You demand for good governance, they tell you to mind your business.
"You try to mind your business, they still insult you. When are we going to come as one and demand for what we’re being owed?”
His remarks have added to ongoing conversations about good governance, citizens’ rights and the need for Nigerians to unite in demanding accountability from their leaders.
