Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has come out to react to the current state of the nation. She recently questioned the relevance of Nigeria’s democratic journey amid the opposite reality.
Speaking on Channels Television’s special Democracy Day programme, Kate said that despite 26 years of uninterrupted democracy, there is nothing to show in terms of real progress or impact on the lives of struggling citizens.
The moviestar wondered what exactly we are celebrating when the democracy we keep raving about has failed to improve the welfare of the average Nigerian.
She lamented about how everything within the country is crumbling, stressing that her fellow Nigerians are barely surviving on a daily basis.
“What exactly are we celebrating? Democracy means nothing if it does not improve the welfare of the people. Everything around us is crumbling, and Nigerians are barely holding on by the skin of their teeth,” she said.

Henshaw further highlighted Nigeria’s collapsing institutions, saying the economic hardship has clearly killed the hope of many citizens.
She, however, concluded by urging the people not to give up because now is the time to hold the leaders accountable.
“We cannot remain silent. There must be justice and equity, and we must ensure the safety of lives and property. I still believe in hope hope that we can rebuild and offer a future for our children,” she added.
