Nollywood actress Destiny Etiko has commended Nigerians for their perseverance amid economic hardship.
Following protests in Kenya, she said that despite the situation in the country, we still wake up with a smile on our face and we still put in our effort every day. She described Nigeria as the most persevering country in the world and declared its people VIPs.
“Nigerians are one of the most persevering nations in the world. Do you know what it’s like in this country? We still wake up with a smile on our face and we still put in our effort every day.
Nigerians are VIPs.”
To this, some agreed with her, while others disagreed, pointing out that Nigerians are afraid to protest against their government.
