Nollywood star Zubby Michael has appealed to Nigerian youths not to allow themselves to be manipulated into carrying out acts of violence during the build-up to the 2027 general elections.
In a video that has gained attention on social media, the actor expressed concern over the country’s ongoing challenges, including insecurity, poor infrastructure, corruption, and ineffective governance.
He questioned the rationale behind young people fighting one another for the benefit of political figures.
According to him, many of the individuals who encourage political violence are often unwilling to put their own children or relatives in harm’s way, leaving ordinary youths to bear the consequences.
The actor emphasized that Nigerian youths should see themselves as allies rather than enemies, urging them to focus on confronting issues affecting the nation.
He listed problems such as kidnapping, injustice, insecurity, corruption, and poor leadership as the real battles that require collective action.
Zubby further encouraged young Nigerians to use their voices and energy to demand accountability from leaders and push for meaningful development instead of participating in politically motivated conflicts.
His words …
“Light no dey, road no dey. Yet them dey mobilize you, you dey jump up and down. You no get sense.
Tell that person wey send you make him give him own pikin this gun na.The war is not youth against youth. It’s youth against injustice.
Youth against kidnapping. Youth against. Youth against stealing. Youths against bad governance. The mood is revolution, not killing one another..”
