Hilda Dokubo
Actress Hilda Dokubo has expressed her frustration over Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to ease lockdown in her country.
In a video she shared on social media, she said she does not understand why the government would want people to resume work and go about their daily lives when they have not even fumigated streets, major roads and other places to make it safe for people.
“Who exactly is lying to the President? Who? The President has announced the easing of the lockdown on the strength of a lie. Who is lying to the President.
“Because of the strength of a lie, he has approved an ease, and he has also approved an increase in the number of people to be tested daily to 2500. If they could not accomplish 1, 500 daily, then how are they able to achieve 2, 500 a day?
“The nurses and doctors and all health workers are working extremely hard, breaking themselves into pieces just to save lives and a few people are sitting in the comfort of an air-conditioned room reaching an agreement that empowers only their pockets.
“Why make mess of people’s efforts? Why?
“Sometimes when I think of what people that sit in committees come up with, I wonder what runs in their veins. Blood or water? Because they react like people who don’t feel the pain of others.
“You have moved responsibility from yourself and hung it on the neck of the common masses, the same people that you are supposed to be protecting,” she indicated.
Hilda is one of Nigeria’s most celebrated actresses. She lately spends more time speaking for the voiceless in society.
