Popular Nollywood actor Kunle Remi has expressed deep frustration over the current economic conditions in Nigeria, specifically targeting the astronomical rise in petrol prices.
In a viral video shared on his social media, the movie star revealed that he recently paid over N1,300 per litre for fuel, a situation he described as "unbearable" for the average citizen.
He questioned why an oil-producing nation like Nigeria is among the first to suffer from global conflicts like the war in Iran, despite being a resourceful nation with its own potential.
Remi admitted that he used to avoid discussing politics or religion, but now believes that "sitting on the fence" is no longer an option for Nigerians.
The actor highlighted the mental stress caused by the triple threat of persistent power outages, expensive diesel, and the lack of government support for local refineries.
He noted that the country’s heavy dependency on one refinery—while others remain non-functional—is a major failure that is currently crushing the hopes of the people.
