Kate Henshaw Fires Back at Critic Over National Duty Call
Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has responded to a critic who urged her to “do more” for the country, making it clear she doesn’t feel obligated to justify her actions. The exchange followed Nigeria’s Independence Day celebrations on October 1, 2024, when an X user shared a photo and video of Henshaw in a green and white outfit, asking her to help fight corruption.
The critic praised Henshaw’s appearance but lamented Nigeria’s struggles, urging collective action to address corruption, insecurity, and underdevelopment. This comment sparked confusion, with another user questioning, “What exactly do you want her to do?”
Henshaw promptly replied, “So, I shouldn’t smile or wear clothes now?” She then addressed the critic directly, stating, “Your compliment on my attire, combined with your other comments, makes me wonder if you think I’m the problem here. I have no interest in proving my contributions to you. There are ‘rulers’ whose duties they haven’t fulfilled. Thanks.” She also shared a post that read, “Nigerians often avoid addressing the real issues and instead focus on other things. Complaining has become our national pastime. So, Madam Kate, ignore the trolls and keep succeeding. Nigerians will always be Nigerians.”

Nigerian singer Speed Darlington speaks with regret as he reflects on his life. He shared that he is disappointed in himself for still being single at his age and not having any children.
The singer said “Up till now, I’m not married and I don’t have any children. All I have to show is an American passport. I want more than American papers—I want a family and respect.”
Nigerian singer Tems reacts to comments linking her with Nigerian goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.
During a recent interview, the singer spoke about the African music movement.
“It’s amazing, you know, coming from Nigeria. I’m just really happy where African music is going right now. Everybody’s popping off and everybody’s shining. So I’m just happy to be a part of that.”
She was then asked if she knew the goalkeeper, to which she replied “Do I know him personally? “I think I do. No, no, no, no, no. I don’t.”
The host then teased her, saying “We should shoot our shot.”
