Nigerian singer Spyro has called on fellow music stars Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy to lend their voices to the growing insecurity in the country. According to him, influential Nigerians can help draw more attention to the issue and increase pressure on the authorities to act.

Nigeria has faced security challenges in recent years, with bandits, terrorists, and kidnappers carrying out attacks in different parts of the country. Most recently, gunmen attacked Baptist Nursery and Primary School, Yawota, and Community Grammar School/LA Primary School, Esiele, in Ogbomoso on May 15. As a result, several students and staff members were abducted.

Following the attack, many celebrities used their platforms to raise awareness and call for action. Spyro also joined the campaign and appealed to Nigerians to speak up.

“This video is to beg all well-meaning Nigerians. Our voices are not loud enough. I saw the video of the teachers yesterday, and my heart broke. I wish there was something I could do. If there is anyone who knows what I can do, personally. Please, I am begging every single Nigerian,” he said.

Furthermore, the singer urged top entertainers and other public figures to use their influence to support the cause.

“I am begging you, Wizkid, a tweet would go a long way. I am begging you, Burna Boy, I am begging you, Davido, I am begging every influential person. It can’t just be business as usual. Lend your voice to this cause.

“Let’s speak up. These children can be killed at any moment from now. I have cried, made calls, and I don’t know what else to do other than to call everybody out to speak now.”
