Veteran Nollywood actress Hilda Dokubo has criticized President Bola Tinubu over the country’s worsening insecurity, accusing leaders of being disconnected from the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians.
In a viral video circulating online, the actress argued that public officials live heavily protected lives while citizens remain exposed to kidnappings, attacks, and violence across the country.
“You live a great life. You’re driving armored vehicles escorted on both sides by armed security men. Your children are not anywhere around us. And even the ones who are, they’re just as protected. But not us ordinary Nigerians,” she said.
Dokubo said the pain of victims and their families should not be met with comparisons or parables, but with empathy and decisive action from those in authority.
Referring to recent school kidnapping incidents in Oriire LGA, Oyo state, she stressed that affected families need protection and solutions rather than explanations.
The actress also expressed concern over the suffering of abducted children and their families, saying the situation should move the president to act urgently.
“How can you be giving parables when children are in tears? May no parent go through this fear of knowing that they may be the ones to bury their children.”
“The farmers who lose their farmlands daily do not need your distance. They need empathy and they need action. They need you to be able to protect the land,” she added.
She concluded by urging the government to provide stronger responses to insecurity, warning that the crisis continues to affect communities across the country.
