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.
“Keep 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.”
