From the influential content creator and skit maestro, Mr Macaroni, to seasoned actresses like Kate Henshaw and Hilda Dokubo, and even to figures like Laide Bakare, the rallying cry for national reform resonates across the celebrity spectrum.
With musicians and actors among those leading the charge, the demand for a better Nigeria reverberates strongly, fueled by the sobering realization that the current realities pose a severe threat to their livelihoods and creative endeavors.
