Nollywood actress and producer Ruth Kadiri Ezerike has joined millions of Nigerians in expressing frustration over the worsening security situation in the country, directing her concerns straight to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The mother of two took to social media to voice her anger following the tragic death of a teacher who was beheaded by bandits after being kidnapped. The incident, which has sent shockwaves across the nation, represents yet another painful reminder of the security challenges plaguing Nigeria.
“Either Protect Us or Let Us Protect Ourselves”
In her emotional post, Ruth Kadiri didn’t mince words. She called on President Tinubu’s administration to either take decisive action to protect Nigerian citizens or grant them permission to defend themselves and their properties.
“Do something or give us the go ahead to protect our lives and properties,” the actress wrote, capturing the sentiment of frustrated Nigerians who feel increasingly vulnerable in their own country.
A Nation in Mourning
The brutal killing of the teacher has reignited conversations about the government’s capacity to protect its citizens. From kidnappings along major highways to attacks on communities, schools, and places of worship, many Nigerians feel abandoned and exposed.
Ruth Kadiri’s outcry reflects a growing impatience among citizens who believe that the current security apparatus is inadequate. Her call for self-defense measures highlights the desperation many feel when conventional protection seems unavailable.
Celebrity Voices Speaking Up
The Nollywood star joins other prominent voices who have consistently used their platforms to demand accountability from the government. As someone with significant influence, particularly among young Nigerians, her statement carries weight and amplifies the urgent calls for security reforms.
The question now remains: Will the government respond with concrete action, or will more Nigerians continue to fall victim to the insecurity crisis?
