Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has slammed Nigerian politicians, particularly those who claim they grew up poor or without shoes. The movie star dismissed such narratives as outright lies.
She made these remarks in a recent interview, sharing her thoughts on Nigeria’s leadership as the country approaches the 2027 general election.
She said; “It’s unfortunate that we’re still where we are now. We have everything that every other nation wants and clamoring for.”
“I wish that our leaders can be bold enough to take some decisions to liberate this country even if it means dying for Nigeria.”
“Every nation can become very bad or terrible. Even America can be most lawless country if there were no laws or enforcement.
“What keeps any nation sane or in order is laws and enforcement, and it starts from that. So my prayer for Nigeria is that we actually get and find leaders who are selfless and ready to die for this country.
“We saw the people coming to say I love Nigeria. I was poor. I did not have one shoe. All are lies. They don’t care.”
