Nigerian singer Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, known as Spyro, has taken to social media to urge men of God to speak out about the ongoing End Bad Governance protest.
On August 1, 2024, the "Who's Your Guy" crooner posted on his official Instagram page, using the Bible to support his call for religious leaders to advocate for the people.
According to Spyro, action is needed more than prayers at this time. He pointed out that in biblical times, God used men of God to challenge corrupt governments.
He wrote:
“I wish Men of God can speak up for the people now as it was in the days of old… This is not a time to PRAY, it is a time to ACT, even the Bible says ‘FAITH without WORKS is dead.’ In the Bible days, men of God were strong tools that God used to challenge the government and liberate the people. MOSES, your people need you now.”
Spyro also suggested that entertainment activities should be put on hold, deeming them insensitive in light of the country's struggles. He emphasized that the nation is bleeding, and everyone is affected.
In his caption, he wrote:
“PRAYER IS ESSENTIAL but won’t do what man should do… Jesus, after praying and speaking ‘LAZARUS COME FORTH,’ immediately said to the people ‘ROLL AWAY THE STONES.’ NO SITTING ON THE FENCE HERE, MATTERS HAVE GONE PAST THAT.”
