The TikToker further revealed reasons he didn't join on the first day of the protest as he spoke about the influence he would have added to the already existing unrest.

"The #EndBadGovernance protests have gotten out of hand. I'm scared. President Tinubu should declare a state of emergency in Nigeria and address the demands of the youths. If Day 1 of the protest is like this, then you can imagine what they'll do next."
