Nigerian comedian De General has shared his views on the country’s security challenges, saying that voting remains a more effective tool for change than public protests.

De General Insecurity Comments on Protests
According to De General, past protests in Nigeria have failed to deliver the desired results despite the sacrifices made by participants.
He argued that demonstrations often end without meaningful change while lives are sometimes lost in the process.
“Staging a protest won’t solve anything. There is no effect in staging a protest. The last time we protested, lives were lost but they said nothing happened,” he said.
Elections Offer a Better Path
Speaking further, De General said Nigerians should focus on participating in elections and obtaining their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The comedian maintained that citizens can influence the country’s future by voting for leaders of their choice through free and fair elections.
“The best thing we should do is to get our PVCs and run a free and fair election. We should vote in who we want,” he added.
