Nollywood actress, Etinosa Igbemudia has taken to social media to speak in favour of thugs, popularly called ‘Agberos’.
Taking to her Instastory, Etinosa said most Agberos are skilled in various mechanical skills and may only require rehabilitation.
She said people might not realize how valuable agberos are until their car develops a fault on the road, and they need someone to fix it.
The mother of one stated that if the government is willing to rehabilitate them, they can use their skills for good.
She wrote,
“Until your car spoils on the road you will never value agberos. Some of them are so skilled. I feel rehabilitation is very much possible by a willing government but some government will rather use them as thugs.
I didn’t call anybody’s name.”
It’s no secret that the recently concluded election in Nigeria was not free and fair, with multiple reports of electoral violence, thuggery, tribalism, and rigging in various states.
During the governorship and state assembly elections last Saturday, the majority of Igbos in Lagos state were denied the right to vote and were turned away by thugs who infiltrated various polling units.
Reacting to the rather heartbreaking event, Etinosa, in an Instastory post, related the issue of tribalism to racism experienced by blacks outside the country.
The mother of one stated that no Nigerian should ever complain about suffering racism abroad because they are no different from racist folks.
She wrote:
“After all I have witnessed in this country, No Nigerian should ever cry about racism cos y’all … Nah. Y’all are the real MVPs. Keep it up”
