Kemi Lala Akindoju

Nollywood actress Lala Akindoju has reacted to the alarming rate of killings and kidnapping in Nigeria. She recently had her say via a lengthy post on her Instagram page, and fans have been reacting.

Emphasizing that kidnapping has become the order of the day across Nigeria, Lala questioned who is speaking for citizens who cannot sleep and are in anguish.

The moviestar added that if Nigerians fail to hold leaders accountable, they’ll keep pretending to care.

His words, “I refuse to normalise the state of ki11ings & kidnapping in Nigeria

Women were r&ped in numbers at a festival, people called it tradition. Nothing has happened to the perpetrators.

Kidnapping is now the order of the day.

Life is taken away from people in their numbers. Children & babies are now being taken. We are now watching innocent people get beheaded on live videos, and we are all acting like everything is okay!!!

If that man were your father, husband, or brother, would you still carry on? If you have spent a week without your children, will you still stay silent and say, “It is well”

All over the country, there are new reports like this daily. We have become jaded, and so far, it doesn’t “touch us”; we are okay. Who is speaking for the people who can’t sleep and are in anguish? Fellow Nigerians like us.

The office of the Nigerian citizen is very weak- all I see are campaigns for another term and primary elections, when one of the core responsibilities of any government is to provide security for its citizens. Or rehabilitation of perpetrators. Sigh!!!

If ALL NIGERIANS hold our leaders accountable, perhaps they will be forced to try or pretend to care.

PFN, CAN, NURTW, agencies in charge of child protection- WHERE IS YOUR VOICE?

No, this is not normal. I refuse to normalise this.”

WOW.
