Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has added her voice to the growing concern over the increasing hardship faced by Nigerians.
Taking to her platform, the actress expressed her reaction to the government's decision to provide N8,000 monthly to the impoverished citizens. She questioned whether the people have the resilience to endure the tough times until the promised "Renewed Hope" materializes.
As a single mother of two, Iyabo Ojo passionately addressed the dire situation in the country, particularly the prevailing hunger crisis. She criticized the government’s proposed palliative plan, describing it as both a "joke" and a "slap" in the face of the suffering populace.
With the ongoing economic challenges and rising inflation rates, the plight of ordinary Nigerians has worsened, making it difficult for many to afford basic necessities. The government’s N8,000 monthly assistance to the poor has been deemed inadequate and insufficient to alleviate the hardships faced by the majority.
Iyabo Ojo’s comments echo the frustrations felt by many citizens who have been grappling with the impact of the economic downturn.
In her words;
“I hope Nigerians have the strength to hold on before we begin to reap this our imaginary Renewed Hope… There is serious hunger in the land, and 8k monthly to the poor is definitely not the solution… That is definitely a joke & a slap.”
