The 2Face climb down has highlighted the dangers of movements led from the top. Bob Marley sang in "Zimbabwe": "So soon we'll find out who is the real revolutionary and I don't want my people to be tricked by mercenaries." While it is not clear whether 2Face's attempts to lead a protest were motivated by mercenary reasons, it is absolutely clear that he is no revolutionary.

When it came to the crunch, a very rich singer, not surprisingly, decided he could not afford to cast his lot with long-suffering Nigerians and march against misrule. It clearly shows why ordinary Nigerians have to organise themselves and not look to the rich and famous for "heroes".
