Nigerian actor and model,Alex Ekubo may be handsome and suave, but when it comes to issues of national interest he doesn’t hesitate to express his views.
The actor recently took to his social media page, lamenting over the issues bedevilling Nigeria at the moment.
He said: “I’m tired. I’m done pretending. I’m heartbroken. How do you tell a homeless person not to wash his dirty linen in public when clearly he lives in public view? Living in Nigeria has become like living an unending episode of a series of unfortunate events, we can’t seem to catch a break. We have always suffered what my dad described as ‘the tragedy of foisted leaders’. The leaders constantly tell us that we are the leaders of tomorrow, yet 80 and above still cling to power like it’s their oxygen tank.
“I once likened Nigeria to the proverbial ‘small dog with a big name’ after filming in Cameroon for eight days without experiencing power outage. They called me unpatriotic, they asked for my head on a plate, they called me a sellout but the truth is, since I was born, I have never experienced steady power supply in my country.
It is important to note I turned 32 in April. Please, nobody should tell me to pray for Nigeria. INEC would not count your prayer points. I’ve been praying all my life and nothing has changed, I want to give heaven a break. This is a call to action, we need to get our PVC and end this before it ends us”, he declared.
