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.”
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.
