SPYRO TO CLERGY: Use your platforms to support ongoing protests

Nigerian musician Oludipe Oluwasanmi David popularly known in music circles as Spyro has taken to social media to urge Nigerians to use their platforms to support the ongoing protests.

The ‘Who Is Your Guy’ crooner who made the call in a post shared on his Instagram page said that he wishes men of God could speak up for the people as they did in the past.

The musician also emphasised in his post on social media the need for tangible action over prayers and also added that even the bible said ‘‘faith without works is dead’’.

He wrote; “I wish men of God could 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, who rose to prominence after the release of his hit ‘Billing’, stated that he would not be posting anything entertainment-related in solidarity with the demonstrations.

“I personally think it is quite insensitive to post anything entertainment. The Country is bleeding and we are all affected whether or not we agree to that fact. I am very much affected,” he noted.
