In the midst of the prevailing economic challenges in Nigeria, veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O Kanayo has cautioned the Igbo community against participating in the proposed nationwide protest against the federal government led by President Bola Tinubu.

Kanayo gave the warning in a viral video shared on his official Instagram page on Saturday night while reacting to the economic hardship in the country.

The actor warned that Igbos are usually the target in everything in Nigeria, hence the need for Ndigbo to sing along with Davido’s unavailable song.

While describing the economic crisis as unfortunate, Kanayo stated that if Igbos cannot be trusted with leadership power in Nigeria, they can also not be trusted with protest.

“Hunger has no religion. I have been looking for stores where only Muslims or Christians buy but I can’t see. So, I want to urge all Igbos to sing along with Davido’s ‘I’m unavailable’. Ndigbo are not available for protest in Nigeria.

“We are always the target, we should learn from what happened. Let’s guard ourselves and ensure that people who said we cannot be trusted with leadership, we also want to tell them that we can also not be trusted with protest.”

Daily Post reports that the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo had in a statement by its President General, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, warned Igbo youths against the planned nationwide protest.
