ABSTRACT Protests result from unpleasant situations and the need for change in the social and economic conditions of the people. Music is often employed during protests. Several articles have been conducted on the Occupy Nigeria protest of 2012. However, little has been said about the musical sound space that mobilised the masses to embark on protest marches in Nigeria. This article focuses on sound space as employed during the Occupy Nigeria protest of 2012. It analyses the movements of people from the social media space to a musical space, as witnessed during the protests in Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota Lagos. It further analyses the content of the music of selected musicians, whose music was played, or who personally performed during the protest. Both primary and secondary data were used. The data included interviews with protesters and some musicians in Lagos state, Nigeria. Secondary sources included books, periodicals, journals, the use of YouTube videos of the protesting masses, as well as information sourced from the net. Based on Deprivations-Frustrations-Aggressions and critical discourse analysis (CDA) theories, the findings show that the organised protest started on the media space and was sustained through the sound space at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park. The article further argues that the music space was not a jamboree, but a revolutionary movement against the government of the day in Nigeria.

从社交媒体空间到声音空间：在占领尼日利亚取消燃料补贴期间的抗议歌曲

摘要抗议活动是由令人不快的局势以及人们的社会和经济状况发生变化的需要而产生的。抗议期间经常使用音乐。关于2012年占领尼日利亚的抗议活动已发表了几篇文章。但是，关于动员群众开展尼日利亚抗议游行的音乐空间，人们所知甚少。本文重点介绍了在2012年“占领尼日利亚”抗议活动中使用的声音空间。它分析了人们从社交媒体空间到音乐空间的活动，如在Ojota Lagos的Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park抗议活动中所见证的。它进一步分析了选定音乐家的音乐内容，他们的音乐被演奏或在抗议期间亲自表演的音乐。主要和次要数据都被使用。数据包括在尼日利亚拉各斯州对抗议者和一些音乐家的采访。次要来源包括书籍，期刊，期刊，使用抗议群众的YouTube视频以及从网络获取的信息。根据剥夺，挫败，侵略和批评性话语分析（CDA）理论，研究结果表明，有组织的抗议活动始于媒体空间，并通过Gani Fawehinmi自由公园的声音空间得以维持。文章进一步指出，音乐领域不是一场狂欢，而是一场反对尼日利亚当今政府的革命运动。根据剥夺，挫败，侵略和批评性话语分析（CDA）理论，研究结果表明，有组织的抗议活动始于媒体空间，并通过Gani Fawehinmi自由公园的声音空间得以维持。文章进一步指出，音乐领域不是一场狂欢，而是一场反对尼日利亚当今政府的革命运动。根据剥夺，挫败，侵略和批评性话语分析（CDA）理论，研究结果表明，有组织的抗议活动始于媒体空间，并通过Gani Fawehinmi自由公园的声音空间得以维持。文章进一步指出，音乐领域不是一场狂欢，而是一场反对尼日利亚当今政府的革命运动。
