Vee Iye, a former BBNaija housemate and actress, expressed her concerns about the economy on the social media platform ‘X’. She specifically highlighted the scarcity of fuel and electricity in the country.
Furthermore, Bobrisky’s incarceration, the deplorable state of the naira, and the ongoing feud among Afrobeat artists are also pressing issues.
In her statement:
“It’s hot, there’s no fuel, there’s no light, the naira is in a laughable state, afrobeats WW3, Bobrisky is in prison, only God knows what’s happening at Landmark and the streets are filled with unserious wicked MARRIED souls. Nigeria, please.”

Meanwhile, Muhammad Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, has once again expressed concern over the hunger and hardship in the country.
He bemoaned that the country’s economic crisis has spiraled out of control and that Nigerians are starving.
The traditional ruler addressed the 6th executive committee meeting of the Northern Traditional Rulers Council (NTRC), which was held in Kaduna State on Wednesday.
He stated that instability and poverty are the main causes of problems for the people of the north.
“To make matters worse, we are faced with rising levels of poverty of most of our people; a lack of normal sources of livelihood for the common man to have even a good meal a day,” he said.“But I believe talking about insecurity and the rising level of poverty are two issues that we cannot fold our arms and think everything is okay.“I have said it so many times and at so many fora that, things are not okay in Nigeria and of course, things are not okay in the north.“To me, this government is a continuation of the former government; it is the same party.“So, what really is the problem? I think that is one of the reasons we are here to talk to ourselves.”
“Education is important, so whatever issue you want to bring here, you must talk about education, you must talk about health issues and of the two monsters that have been harassing all of us here that is insecurity and poverty,” he said.“And let’s not take it for granted; people are quiet, they are quiet for a reason because people have been talking to them.‘We have been talking to them, we have been trying to tell them things will be okay and they keep on believing.“I pray to Almighty Allah that they will not one day wake up and say we no longer believe in you, because that would be the biggest problem because we can’t quieten these people as traditional, spiritual leaders and diplomats forever.“We have reached that level, people are very agitated, people are hungry, they are angry, but they still believe there are people who can talk to them, they believe in some of their governors, some other traditional rulers, and some of their religious leaders.“Fortunately, some of us double as traditional and religious leaders.“So, we have this onerous task of reaching out to everybody, calming them down, and assuring them things will be okay, and they should continue to pray and pray and still do something good because prayer without work will not bring anything.”
