Seyi Law, the comedian, has cautioned people celebrating the ongoing violent protests in Nepal against romanticising foreign revolutions without considering their devastating consequences.

The unrest in the South Asian country erupted after the government’s brief attempt to ban social media, which ignited deeper public fury over widespread corruption, political nepotism, and economic stagnation.

The protests have since turned violent, with demonstrators attacking and vandalising the homes of political leaders.

In a‏n X post on Wednesday, Seyi criticised the tendency to glorify such uprisings, pointing to the disastrous outcome in Libya as a stark lesson.

The comedian argued that these movements often lead to regret and unforeseen chaos, far removed from the jubilant images shared online.

“They are happy about Nepal until rebuilding becomes a problem. They will never learn from Libya. They think revolution won’t affect the politicians they love,” he wrote.

“eep fanning what you can’t sustain and remember to start in your region. They will show you burnt buildings and politicians beaten, but they won’t tell you that Nepaleses are regretting now.

“Iconic structures have been destroyed, criminals escaped, women raped and their properties looted. They’re already claiming the protest was hijacked. Like Gehgeh, had I know is the last comment of a fool.”

Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar, wife of Jhalanath Khanal, a former prime minister of Nepal, died after protesters set their home ablaze in Kathmandu.

At least 22 people have now been killed since the unrest began on Monday, with over 300 injured.

helinues:
We are not even going to allow such protest in Nigeria.

The Kenya which some people said we should emulate their Gen Z, only if they have an idea about what ended the protest

TimeManager:
...We remember last year protest, they pulled out and said they weren't part of it

Commentor:
So, people should not fight for their rights because of Libya, abi?

Racoon:
These supporters of oppressors would rather want suffering citizens to continue to suffer that revolt or fight for what is legally theirs from the hands of their oppressors.

BATified2023:
u are free to fight for your right but start from your region.


Chinedu should go to his region to protest
Musa should protest in his region
Olatunde should protest in his region


It's that simple, let charity begin at home for everyone

BATified2023:
nobody is telling u to suffer or not revolt. What everyone is telling u is that u should go n revolt in your region. Simple

They celebrated Kenyan protest but what happened at the end of the day?, they celebrated military coups in neighbouring Africa, what happened after that?. More than a dozen youth were killed in the Nepal protest but Obidients were celebrating . These same Obidients that were hiding under their bed during the #Endbadgovernance protest
No matter how much evil they wish on the country, that fraud they are packaging will never become the President of our dear nation Nigeria.
