Big Brother Naija double wahala housemate Tacha Akide has written an open letter to Nigeria government.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, she made the government know that Nigerians don’t hate them, but hate the situation they’ve been forced to live in. She noted how the pain shows in how we speak and act.
Tacha explained that one of the most basic duties of any government is to protect lives and properties, but the government have failed us. According to her, from the president to the governors, senators, and ministers, they have all failed the citizens.
In a note to the First Lady, she expressed her love for her and stated that as a mother, she should understand the pain of childbirth. She questioned how she could explain how children die in their sleep.
Tacha expressed how heartbreaking it is for Nigerians to have to beg for sympathy, hope and for the government to address them. The reality star added that Nigerians don’t feel the presence of our government.
“Open Letter to the NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT!!!
The Nigerian people do not hate the government!! We hate the situation we’ve been forced to live in.
The PAIN shows in the way we speak, in how we act, and in the constant frustration we carry.
One of the most basic duties of any government is to protect lives and property. You have failed us in this. From the president to the governors, senators, and ministers, you all have families. You have children. You know the value of life.
AND to the First Lady of Nigeria, we love you. I love you. As a mother, you understand the pain of childbirth.
How do you explain children being born into a world where they die in their sleep!! burned, forgotten???
It is heartbreaking that Nigerians must beg for sympathy, beg to be addressed, and beg for hope. What would it cost the Presidency to visit the grieving and show that leadership feels?
We don’t feel the presence of our government. We are humans. You are humans. And yet, lives are reduced to ashes without national mourning. The flag should be at half-mast. But no!! Only the Pope spoke before OUR OWN government did.
It is sad. It is painful. And we are tired of going in circles.
We just want to feel seen. We just want to feel safe.
We just want things to be better.
AND I ASK AGAIN!!?? Where did we go WRONG AS NIGERNAIJAONPOINT??”.
