Hardship: Nationwide protests may not be effective — Tonto Dikeh

Nollywood star Tonto Dikeh has shared her two cents on the planned nationwide over the hardship being faced by Nigerians.

In a post on social media, the actress stated why she thinks the demonstration may not be the most effective way to go about the issue.

Tonto Dikeh suggested an alternative approach; forming a representative group to communicate to President Bola Tinubu.

According to her, the group should request a meeting where the concerns would be discussed and solutions proposed.

“Dear fellow Nigerian youths, I understand your frustrations about our nation’s current state. The price hikes and economic pressures are tough, and many are struggling with the increased costs of commuting and living.

“However, a nationwide protest from August 1-10, 2024, might not be the most effective method right now. This isn’t to undermine the power of protests but to suggest a more strategic approach.

“Instead of protests, I recommend forming a representative group to formally communicate with the President. This group can advocate on our behalf, request a meeting to discuss our concerns and propose solutions.

“Engaging in meaningful dialogue and community development can lead to positive change and unity.

“The economic challenges affect us all, and addressing them through peaceful and diplomatic means could be more beneficial. Let’s unite and work towards a better Nigeria.

“I urge you to consider alternative ways to make your voices heard and to work towards a brighter future,” she penned.
