The actress uploaded a photo of the head of the secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who has be condemned to life jail after being convicted of terrorism.
She wrote: “MY HUMBLE OPINION……..
“BEFORE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S ARRIVAL , NDI IGWE , COMMUNITY LEADERS NA ANI IGBO BIKONU DO THIS AND KNOW PEACE…….
“BIKONU , LET EVERY COMMUNITY PROPERLY ARM THEIR YOUTHS , THE ONES THAT CAN THOUGH , ASK THEM TO GET INTO THEIR BUSHES AND FORRESTS , AND SEE THESE KIDNAPPINGS STOP OVERNIGHT.
“THE TERRORISTS AND BANDITS ARE EMBOLDENED BECAUSE THEY ARE ARMED .
“IN THE PAST THESE TERRORISTS AND BANDITS WERE PROTECTED BY CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS , BUT TODAY MOST OF THEM ARE ON THEIR OWN .
“THE YOUTHS OF EVERY COMMUNITY KNOW THE TERRAIN MORE THAN THE FOREIGN ELEMENTS AND CAN EASILY AMBUSH AND DESTROY THEM .
“THE YOUTHS ARE IN A BETTER POSITION TO DEFEND THEIR COMMUNITIES IF ONLY THE LEADERS , WILL STOP BEING COMPROMISED .
“IF YOU DON’T START THIS NOW , IT’S COMING TO YOUR DOORSTEPS .”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
