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?”

And I also want to have a lot of power. And with that power comes new responsibility. And my responsibility and duty will always be to the children.”
