Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde has shared her concerns about the current state of governance in Nigeria, particularly in the wake of the recent Edo State gubernatorial elections.
Taking to social media, Jemima voiced her disillusionment with various attempts to demand better leadership, pointing out that hashtag campaigns and protests, such as the recent demonstrations against fuel price hikes, have failed to bring about meaningful change.
Jemima also lamented that even those who obtained their voter’s cards and participated in elections to ensure their votes counted still faced disappointment. Her post closed with a question about what it would take to truly make a difference in Nigeria’s governance.
Her tweet resonated with many, sparking a wave of responses. Some pointed out that the lack of voter turnout was a critical issue, while others highlighted the challenges of tribalism, corruption, and political apathy in the country. Others, like user “adekunleblue,” emphasized the need to engage in grassroots political processes rather than focusing solely on social media activism.
