Nigerian foremost media critic and actor, Uche Maduagwu has directly addressed an issue concerning Nigerian politicians in a post alleging that their relevancy can’t be compared to that of ex-Big Brother Naija reality Tv stars, Mercy Chinenyenwa Eke and Anita Natacha Akide.
He noted that Nigerian politicians have failed the citizens with the way they neglect helping the poor masses by at least providing face masks and palliatives to them.
Uche continued that it’s a thing of worry to see the originality and creativity of BBNaija reality Tv stars like Tacha and Mercy in helping citizens outshine that of the government and politicians whose sole duty is to cater for the wellbeing of the people who voted for them.
He however put out a question to the government asking where all the billions of naira that have been donated by some Nigerians billionaires to help fight Covid-19 pandemic and also cater for the underprivileged go.
Read Uche’s post below;
“Politicians who can not provide ordinary face mask to every Nigerian during #Covid19 can not boast of being more relevant than #Tacha and Mercy… Honestly, if they can import #Chinese health workers when we have capable and efficient #world class doctors, i wont be surprised if they import local herbs from #Madagasca to fighting #Coronavirus. Why cant we emulate #Senegal?
“We defeated #Ebola because we applied a local solution created by our doctors, so why copy and paste everything we watch in #UK and #America via @cnn to fighting this pandemic? Tacha and #Mercy stood for originality and creativity in #BBnaija, that is something that our politicians lack.
“When they should have closed our airports after seeing the devastating effect of coronavirus in #wuhan and some #EU countries, they were busy playing god when they know our health system is in a state of coma, despite all the billions donated, Nigerians in #Lagos, #Abuja and #OgunState were on lockdown for more than a month, but can these politicians boast of giving palliative to more than 300 thousand people? Where did all the billions go?”
