Reality star and media personality, Tacha Akide has taken a bold stand against the Nigerian government following the tragic killings in Benue State, where over 200 people reportedly lost their lives.
In a deeply emotional video posted on her Instagram page, Tacha didn’t hold back her tears or words as she questioned the silence and inaction of the country’s leaders:
“Where did I go wrong being a Nigerian? Where did we go wrong? Did we pick our country?
What offense have we committed that is strong enough for more than 200 people to go to bed and not wake up?”, she queried.
“It is heartbreaking that Nigerians must beg for sympathy, beg to be addressed, beg for hope.
“What would it cost the Presidency to visit the grieving, to show that leadership feels??
“We don’t feel the presence of our government.
We are humans. You are humans. And yet, lives are reduced to ashes without national mourning.
“The flag should be at half-mast. But no!! only the Pope spoke before OUR OWN government did.
“It is sad. It is painful. And we are tired of going in circles.
“We just want to feel seen. We just want to feel safe.
“We just want things to be better.
AND I ASK AGAIN!!?? Where did we go WRONG AS NIGERIANS??”
