Iyabo Ojo is not one to be silent about societal matters, and her outspoken personality has geared her towards constantly speaking up. Not too long ago, the Yoruba movie actress made a post on Instagram, addressing the current issue that many Nigerians are complaining about, which is cost of living.
Attached to her post was a screenshot from a tweet she wrote, talking about how people were struggling on a daily basis, and that she’s scared of opening her messages because ninety percent of the messages she gets are depressing. The fact that people are comfortable enough to share their issues with her is no surprise, as she often gives away money online to fans.
In her caption, Iyabo Ojo wrote, “ The nation bleeds already I pray this present government will get up from the comfort of their riches and high horses, roll their sleeves and do right on time, hope is no longer hoping, tolerance is no longer tolerating, and patience is no longer patient, there is serious hunger & anger in the land. …. Emi l’okan, o ti kan a ra llu ba yii o”
The caption Iyabo Ojo attached to her post is a clear cry for help, and a message to the government, urging them to fix the issue, just as she stated there. Her caption insinuates that the government isn’t working, and that they need to look beyond their comfort to fix the country.
Iyabo Ojo is among the impressive number of celebrities that have spoken out in recent times about the hardships in Nigeria. The price inflation seems to have affected everyone, including those are considered as rich and comfortable.
