Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has expressed frustration over the backlash she receives whenever she speaks about issues affecting Nigeria and its citizens.
The actress shared her disappointment while reflecting on her experiences of speaking out on national matters, noting that her comments often attract criticism rather than appreciation.
According to Yvonne, the more she tries to use her voice to address happenings in the country, the more she finds herself being attacked by people who misunderstand or disagree with her opinions.
She stated that the constant criticism has made her question whether Nigerians truly deserve the effort and concern she puts into advocating for change.
“The more I speak about the happenings in Nigeria, the more people drag me. Nigerians aren’t worth fighting for,” she said.
The actress’ statement has sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians sharing different opinions about her remarks. While some sympathised with her, others argued that public figures should expect criticism when discussing sensitive issues.
Yvonne Jegede has previously used her platform to comment on social and societal matters, often encouraging conversations around challenges facing the country.
