Nigerian actor turned politician, Yul Edochie took to his Twitter page yesterday to lament over the celebration of Nigeria’s independence, saying Nigeria is in a mess.
Edochie made his frustrations known via his Twitter page on October 1, 2018.
“Can’t wish anybody a Happy Independence day, there’s nothing to be happy about. Nigeria is in a mess. The masses, the youths are unhappy. Poverty, hunger, joblessness, killings still prevail. Government listen to the cry of the people. Power is nothing if ur people are unhappy,” he tweeted.

This is not the first time the actor would be lamenting on the state of the nation. On Sunday , August 26, 2018, he gave a brief story of his friend who worked in Nigeria for years as a doctor without making money but became rich after his short move abroad.
“My friend hustled as a practicing medical doctor for over 10yrs in Nigeria with nothing much to show for it. He left Nigeria last yr to practice abroad, came back one yr after, got married, boughts lands, building his house and happy. Dreams die here. We can’t continue like this,” he tweeted.
