Omotola lambasts corrupt leaders # What is the value of a Nigerian life?

Award winning Nigeria actress, Omotola Ekeinde, says she is pissed off with the way many Nigerian leaders fail to deliver on their constitutional responsibilities. She took to Twitter on Thursday to lament the state of maternal mortality, healthcare, and corruption in the Nigerian polity.

Omotola,  who in April,  made Time’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world,  said on Twitter that she would be...

leading a campaign against the ugly trend.

In a series of tweets,  she says, “Hmm, I keep asking. What is the value of a Nigerian life? What is the primary job of a government? Shame on humans who pledge to serve fellow humans, get into power and ignore their duties and intimidate the citizens.

“Are Nigerians entitled to health care benefits? What’s the way forward from maternal mortality for a start? Shame on those who worship money and forget their silent heroes and suck up to corrupt leaders, selling their voice!’’

Omotola adds that she will change the trend of things in her own little way with her foundation, Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme. She also urges her fans on the social service to start a campaign on social media saying, ‘’You too can sign petitions and cc @TIME @CNN@amnesty we trend with anything we can with petitions.’’
