This Blood Thirst Is Closer Than We Think – Actress Yvonne Jegede Bemoans Insecurity, Killings 

Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has bemoaned the incessant killings and insecurity that has plagued several areas across Nigeria.

Recall that social media has been on fire following the news of the abductions of some students, parents and teacher in Oyo state.

The tragic incident was further compounded by the gruesome slaughter of a Mathematics teacher in Oyo State, identified as Michael Oyedokun.

Reacting to the incident, Yvonne Jegede noted how despite the effect of insecurity affecting the country —only some people are complaining, instead of the whole country.

She wondered why many people are not expressing anger over it, highlighting the increasing rate of blood thirst. She also pointed out the extent of the insecurity, noting how Nigeria lacks proper infrastructure to tackle such issues.

She wrote: “It is sad that when I look at the news, it looks like it is only a certain group of people that are complaining when it is supposed to be ALL OF US. This is not good for us, not in the eyes of man, not in the eyes of God (because nobody calls God more than us), not in the eyes of humanity, not even economically. I don’t see this angering us enough to speak out against it without fear. This should scare you more. This blood thirst is getting closer than we think.

This is inhumane in a country where we don’t have ambulances, toll-free numbers, or proper healthcare facilities. I am worried why we are not all standing against this. Are we now ok with this? Nigerians, is this the new standard?."
