Gen Z Protests: How "Anguka Nayo" Street Anthem Turned into Anti-Government Chant
Ever since the Anti-tax protests began like a month ago some artists have hit studios to release some protest and redemption song. Although, the song was not meant as a protest chant it has quickly turned into a street anthem for youths who are the majority of participants in ongoing anti-government protests.

The song comes with a news well choreographed song that involves dance moves from the upper body then eventually ending with moves at the lower body.
The sense that youths have taken from this street banger is that the corrupt political class should come from their high and mighty positions and come to the ground and listen to the greviancies of their electorate especially the youths.
While the protests have put immense pressure on the president leading him to seed to some of the demands being fronted by millenials and Gen Zs. The young people still want more reforms from government and will keep telling politician's to Anguka Nayo.
Older members in our community might not understand the meaning or context of this song but it is also a way of telling the politicians that young people are willing to do anything to ensure that they will return sovereign power to people.
My assumption is that many such kind of anthems will keep being released by the young artists but the Anguka Nayo anthem will continue to be a street anthem either for entertainment or during protests for a while now.
