Stand-up comedian and former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, Adedayo Aderombi, better known as DeeOne, has called out protest organisers in the country, accusing them of endangering the lives of young Nigerians and playing politics with them.
He tackled the protest organisers on Thursday night, November 12, 2026, via a video posted on his official Instagram account.
DeeOne’s comment followed a series of protests organised by politicians and civil society organisations to tackle what they deemed the failure of President Bola Tinubu’s administration to end insecurity and hunger in the country.
Reacting to the demonstrations, the BBNaija reality star accused the protest organisers of using other people’s children while keeping theirs overseas.

While noting that Nigerian youth have become smarter, he challenged the organisers to let their children and family members join the protests.
He went further to warn Nigerians not to let those who claim to be tired of Nigeria’s situation use them.
Taking to his verified handle, DeeOne said: “Anybody that calls for a protest, let their family and friends be part of the protest. Enough of this brainwashing, ‘we are tired, we are tired’.
”If we’re tired, let your family be part of the protest. Protest wey you go keep your own family for house, keep your family abroad, con dey sacrifice the lives of young Nigerians.
”Nigerians are now smarter than that nonsense. Put your children in front. Stop depending on people’s children for protests. We are ready to protest, but let your children follow us. I am someone else’s child; bring out your children too. Let every family donate their children for the protest. My people, shine your eyes oo, don’t let them use you oo.”
