Popular Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw is speaking out about the state of the country. During a recent appearance on Channels Television for Democracy Day, she shared strong concerns about Nigeria’s progress. According to her, there’s very little to celebrate after 26 years of uninterrupted democratic rule.
Henshaw said life has become harder for many Nigerians. In her words, “There is no middle class, and we cannot tell any more lies to ourselves.” She described how the country is dealing with rising insecurity, poverty, and broken systems. These challenges, she said, have made life almost unbearable for the average citizen.
She also noted that, despite years of democratic leadership, Nigerians are still struggling. Basic services are failing, and people are left without hope. “Everything around us is crumbling,” she said. “Nigerians are barely holding on by the skin of their teeth.”
The actress called for justice, fairness, and safety for all. She stressed the need for leaders to be accountable. Although frustrated, Kate Henshaw reminded viewers not to lose hope. “I still hold on to hope that we will have a country to live in, for our children — something they can build on,” she said.
Her comments come just days after rapper Falz also criticized the government. He said Nigeria has moved backward in the last two years. Public figures like Henshaw and Falz are using their voices to spark conversations about change. Their message is clear: Nigerians deserve better, and it’s time to demand it.
