Embrace peaceful dialogue, shun protest, Tonto Dikeh advises youths
Actress Tonto Dikeh has spoken on the planned protest by youths, saying it was not necessary.
She acknowledged the struggles and right to protest but suggested more effective ways to address the issues.
She expressed sadness over the economic hardships and rising cost of living but cautioned against protests, citing the potential for damage and derailment as seen in the #EndSARS protest.
Instead, she recommended forming a representative group to engage directly with President Bola Tinubu, advocating for a more strategic and diplomatic approach.
She believed peaceful dialogue and community development can lead to positive change and unity.
Tonto Dikeh urged youths to consider alternative ways to make their voices heard, stressing the importance of making smart choices for a better Nigeria.

She wrote: “Dear fellow Nigerian youths, I understand your frustrations about our nation’s current state. The price hikes and economic pressures are tough, and many are struggling with increased costs of commuting and living. However, a nationwide protest from August 1-10, 2024, might not be the most effective method right now. This isn’t to undermine the power of protests but to suggest a more strategic approach.
“Instead of protests, I recommend forming a representative group to formally communicate with the President. This group can advocate on our behalf, request a meeting to discuss our concerns, and propose solutions. Engaging in meaningful dialogue and community development can lead to positive change and unity.
“The economic challenges affect us all, and addressing them through peaceful and diplomatic means could be more beneficial. Let’s unite and work towards a better Nigeria. I urge you to consider alternative ways to make your voices heard and to work towards a brighter future.”
She concluded with the caption: “Sometimes we can be right, but how we express ourselves matters. This is a heartfelt plea to all Nigerian youths—LET’S MAKE SMART CHOICES.”
