Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has expressed worries about Nigeria’s economic state, emphasizing how rising fuel prices affect people all around the country.
In an Instagram video, the movie actor bemoaned the growing price of gasoline and ongoing power outages, saying that the situation is becoming more and more intolerable for regular people.
He said, “I don’t even know how to begin this conversation. Usually, I say things like, I don’t get involved in politics. I don’t talk about politics. In fact, the country, the industry, a couple of things, make you, they’ll tell you don’t discuss religion or politics or something, and so you fall into that category where you say I don’t like to talk politics.
“No, that’s the most stupid statement from anybody in Nigeria right now. We should be discussing. We should be talking about it. We should be trying to fix.
“We should be inquiring about what is happening in the nation. There’s nothing like sitting on the fence. Now it doesn’t make any sense.
“Today, I bought fuel, petrol. I bought petrol for one thousand three hundred and something thousand naira. We don’t have light.
“I don’t understand why Nigeria is one of the first countries to be affected by the war in Iran.
“A blessed nation, a country that is a resourceful nation, is complaining about fuel price because we are dependent on one refinery, and even the refineries never got the full support of the government, and then the nation has different refineries that don’t function. I don’t understand.
“I’m blown away because I’m mentally stressed, and I can’t even lie. So you don’t have light. Diesel is expensive. Fuel is expensive. A couple of my staff are letting me understand that to even come to work now is a problem because the transport is hiking, meaning that their salary is not even enough anymore in a very short period.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
