Nollywood star Charles Inojie has sparked nationwide conversation after blasting Nigeria’s political leaders for what he described as their “deafening silence” in the face of worsening insecurity. In a viral clip circulating across social media, the actor condemned the government’s failure to act as banditry, kidnappings, and insurgency continue to ravage the country — making farmlands, schools, markets, and entire communities unsafe.

His message struck a painful chord, coming just days after armed bandits abducted 25 schoolgirls from a Kebbi State school — another tragedy in a long list of violent attacks blamed on groups ranging from Fulani herders to Boko Haram. With millions displaced and thousands killed over the years, Inojie’s words echoed the frustration of a nation that feels abandoned by its leaders.

Nigerians on X (formerly Twitter) quickly rallied behind him, demanding urgent action from President Tinubu and drawing parallels to past nationwide pleas for change. As the pressure mounts and public outrage grows louder, one question remains: how long can Nigeria endure this deadly silence from those in power? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
