DeeOne made the call on Thursday night, accusing some protest organisers of encouraging other people’s children to take to the streets while keeping their own children overseas.
The comedian, while noting that Nigerian youths had become more aware and smarter, challenged the organisers to demonstrate their commitment by allowing their children and relatives to join the protests.

“Anybody that calls for protest, let their family and friends be part of the protest. Enough of this brainwashing ‘we are tired, we are tired’.

“If we’re tired, let your family be part of the protest. Protest wey you go keep your own family for house, keep your family abroad, con dey sacrifice the lives of young Nigerians.
Nigerians are now smarter than that nonsense. Put your children in front. Stop depending on people’s children for protest. We are ready to protest, but let your children follow us. I am someone else’s child; bring out your children too. Let every family donate their children for the protest. My people, shine your eyes oo, don’t let them use you oo.”
