Nigerian actor Linc Edochie has cautioned individuals in the northern region of the country to avoid actions that could draw unnecessary attention from powerful nations.
His warning comes after reports that some youths in northern Nigeria staged protests following the alleged death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Iranian leader was reportedly killed on February 28, 2026, during a joint airstrike said to have been carried out by Israel and the United States.
Tensions quickly escalated afterward when Iran reportedly launched retaliatory attacks targeting Israeli and American interests across parts of the Middle East.
Amid the unfolding international crisis, demonstrations in support of Iran were reportedly held in a few northern Nigerian states.
Reacting to the situation in a video shared on his Facebook page, Edochie urged those participating in the protests to be cautious and avoid provoking countries with significant global military influence.
The actor also expressed concern that the conflict could spiral into one of the most devastating wars in history, stressing that Nigeria may not be able to withstand the consequences of angering nations like the United States and Israel.
“This may not be our direct concern, but what is happening in the world, let us take this matter to God in prayers. Whether it concerns us directly or we try to shy away from it, I’m sorry to say this: a third world war has formally begun.
“This war may not be fought on conventional terms, in all honesty, but it’s going to be the deadliest the world has ever seen. And to some of those guys up North protesting over what is happening in Iran, please let us leave the streets.
“You don’t want to provoke a superpower. If we draw their attention towards us, we’re in trouble. We cannot stand the fury of these countries. Let us just respect ourselves and manage our problems the way we are, please,” he said.
