Nasboi shares reason for not participating in nationwide protest
Nigerian skitmaker, Nasboi reveals the reason himself and many other celebrities are refusing to join citizens in the nationwide protest.
Nasboi stated this in a now deleted Twitter post, for which he received backlash.
According to him, the last time he spoke up he was threatened and when he shared the threatening messages, netizens only laughed at him.
That strengthened his resolve to no longer speak up when it comes to protests or politics.
