Nollywood actress, Sunshine Rosman, has decried the rising insecurity and worsening economic hardship in the country.

The actress spoke in a video shared on her Instagram Story on Sunday, where she questioned how long Nigerians would continue to endure the current situation.

She said, “When are we going to wake up as Nigerians? When is it finally going to be enough?”

Rosman also bemoaned the state of the economy, rising poverty and poor infrastructure.

“We can’t even begin to talk about the economy right now, the poverty rates. We can’t begin to talk about the lack of infrastructure in this country,” she said.

She further raised concern over the killing of Christians in Northern Nigeria, saying many residents had been forced to flee their homes because they no longer believed help would come.

“People and Christians in the north are constantly being slaughtered. Lives are being lost for nothing. People have to migrate from their towns, from their homes, from their villages, because they know that nothing will be done,” she stated.

The actress ended the video by stressing that the present condition of the country should not be accepted as normal.

Rosman’s comment comes days after Nollywood actor Wale Akorede, popularly known as Okunnu, questioned the rising cost of petrol and the hardship being faced by many Nigerians.

In a video posted on his Instagram page on March 22, 2026, Okunnu said petrol rose from ₦1,240 per litre on March 21 to ₦1,340 per litre the following day.

“Today is the 22nd of March, 2026. As of yesterday, which was the 21st, petrol was ₦1,240 per litre. Today, which is Sunday, petrol is now ₦1,340 per litre,” he said.

He also asked, “Is it the government that increased it or we, Nigerians?”

Speaking further, the actor questioned why fuel remained expensive despite Nigeria being an oil-producing nation.

“We have our own crude oil, so why is fuel expensive? Other countries have fuel too, but theirs isn’t expensive. We are the ones responsible for this hardship,” he said.

He also raised concerns over the effect of the development on low-income earners.

“What of those who cannot afford basic needs? Bikemen? What will be their current situation because things will become expensive now, plus their low income?” he added.

In recent months, many Nigerians have continued to complain about the rising cost of living, inflation and attacks in some parts of the country, especially in the North, where banditry and communal violence have displaced several communities.
