Kanayo O. Kanayo Critiques Military Presence in Southeast Nigeria
Nollywood actor Kanayo O. Kanayo has raised concerns about the heavy presence of military and police in Southeast Nigeria and how it affects travelers. In a video posted on Instagram on October 23, 2024, he compared his quick trip from Ibadan to Lagos, where he saw no checkpoints, to the frustrating travel experience in the Southeast, which is filled with checkpoints.
Kanayo explained, “I left Ibadan at 7:15 AM and got to Lagos by 8:15 AM without seeing any police or army checkpoints. Have you counted the checkpoints on the Onitsha-Enugu road?” He questioned why the Southeast is so heavily militarized, stating, “You can’t travel more than 200 kilometers without hitting a checkpoint.”
He also pointed out the humiliation and delays caused by these checkpoints, where travelers often have to get out of their vehicles with their hands raised. Kanayo called for action, asking, “Is the Southeast still part of Nigeria? Have our representatives seen the condition of the federal roads?”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
