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?”
VeryDarkMan shares that he was warned by Burna Boy once that the Nigerians he fights for will one day turn on him.
He shared “Burna Boy warned me, he said the Nigerians I’m fighting for will backstab me. They’ll put knife in your neck if they have the opportunity.”
“Fighting for Nigerians is tiring. Same Nigerians that tried to cancel Burna of their own because of what happened in his UK show. Una international star. Just because him tell one person make him Comot from him show, Una join them everybody wan cancel am.”
