Jay Bahd Speaks Out: ‘Violent Protests Won’t Bring Change, We Need New Approach

Ghanaian musician Jaybhad has taken a strong stance against violent protests, emphasizing his refusal to participate in any demonstration that harms lives and properties.

In an interview, Jaybhad expressed concerns about the ineffectiveness of past protests in Ghana, citing a lack of tangible change despite the numerous demonstrations organized by the youth.

“There are people on Twitter who fool because of engagement. When I say move from your comfort zone, I mean we can move out and peacefully demonstrate and not destroy property that will lead to the death of people.

If we will demonstrate and destroy property, I will not join such protests. We are in a country where we are asking for more, and then we will use demonstrations to destroy the little we have here. Efia Odo asked me if I’ve joined any demonstrations, no I won’t join. The last time you led a demonstration, people died.

There are better ways of demonstrating, not what you people are doing that I’m leading the youth and I love my country, Ghana. You need to convince your people on how they should vote and let them know that there is hardship so they should not vote along tribal lines but rather seek the best for the country. You people have not done this but sit on Twitter and talk too much just because of engagements,” he said.
