Nigerians have shown the capacity to withstand pains and poverty in the weirdest circumstances.

Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna has shared his views on the state of the nation. The award winning actor and model noted that Nigerians deserve what they are crying about at the moment.

“Now we are all crying, I think we are only getting what we deserve, we are all crying about what is happening in the country. If we all came out and actively participated to decide the fate of this country, then we will be smiling today,” he said in a chat with Pulseng.

Speaking on the need for Nigerians to get their PVCs he said the people who decide the fate of Nigerians are the ones going out to vote.

“So we got to realize that the people who actually decide the fate of Nigerians are the ones that have been bribed because the people who have been bribed are the ones going out to vote. You that have the opinion that you feel like you know what is best for Nigeria, you are in your house hoping that the right decision is made. So when you see the ratio of how many people have PVCs as to those voting, it is not balancing. If you see the number of eligible Nigerians and the number of those that go to vote, it is not balancing. So what happened to the rest number of people who were supposed to have voted.

“Everyone should come out, Fela says suffering and smiling that’s how it is. Nigerians are the best people…we are so good at suffering and smiling, as something is hurting us we just wear a smile on our face. I have never seen anybody like Nigerians in my life, you know. It’s a different ball game altogether. At the end of the day, how long do we want to keep suffering and smiling? So let’s come out and get our PVCs because without the PVC we cannot vote,” he concluded.
