As Nigerians grapple with a relentless cost-of-living crisis, Nollywood star Kunle Remi has hit out at soaring fuel prices.
The actor described the current economic climate as “unbearable” for the average citizen, joining a growing chorus of public figures demanding relief for the masses.
The actor took to social media to express his displeasure, highlighting how the continuous increase in fuel prices is affecting daily life and pushing many Nigerians to the edge.
Persecondnews reports that his comments have since sparked widespread reactions online.
According to him, the costs of transportation, goods, and basic services have risen sharply due to the persistent hike in fuel prices, making it difficult for many households to cope.
He noted that what used to be manageable expenses have now become overwhelming, stressing that survival in the country is becoming more challenging by the day.
The Nollywood star emphasized that the situation goes beyond inconvenience, adding that it is gradually making the country feel unlivable for a large number of people.
His remarks reflect a growing sentiment among Nigerians who have repeatedly raised concerns about inflation and the ripple effects of fuel price increases on the economy.
Observers say the removal of fuel subsidies and fluctuations in global oil prices have contributed significantly to the current situation, worsening the financial strain on citizens.
Many social media users have rallied behind the actor, sharing similar experiences and calling on the government to take urgent action to ease the burden on the populace.
Some commentators, however, argued that while the reforms may be necessary in the long term, there is a need for immediate measures to cushion the impact on vulnerable groups.
