The comedian, in a social media post on Tuesday, lamented what he described as a frustrating situation in which Nigerians who demand accountability from those in authority are often told to mind their business, while those who choose to stay away from public affairs are equally subjected to criticism and insults.
Questioning the apparent lack of collective action among citizens, Sabinus challenged Nigerians to put aside their differences and unite in demanding accountability and the rights and benefits they believe they are being denied by their leaders.
“A lot is going on in this country and we’re just keeping quiet. You demand for good governance, they tell you to mind your business.
“You try to mind your business, they still insult you. When are we going to come as one and demand for what we’re being owed?” he wrote.
The comedian’s remarks highlight the dilemma faced by citizens who speak up about governance and public accountability, particularly when their concerns are met with dismissive responses or criticism.
His comments also draw attention to the broader question of civic responsibility and the role Nigerians can play in addressing issues affecting the country. By questioning when citizens would unite, Sabinus appeared to stress the importance of collective action in holding public officials accountable.
The post has added to ongoing conversations about governance, citizens’ rights and the need for greater public participation in demanding transparency and accountability from those entrusted with leadership.
Sabinus’s intervention underscores the importance of creating an environment where citizens can express concerns about national affairs without being discouraged or ridiculed for doing so.
