“Nigerians Are Hungry, and Hungry People Are Angry People. I feel the Pain too,” Comedian Seyi Law Says

Nigerian comedian, Seyi Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, has spoken about the economic hardship confronting citizens, urging leaders to admit the reality of people’s s¥ffeing rather than gloss over it.

Speaking in an interview on Inside the Box, the comedian said fr¥stration among Nigerians is directly tied to hunger and the soaring cost of living.

“Nigerians are hungry and hungry people are angry people. I h+te when we try to switch such things under the carpet, which is what politicians do. I don’t like it. Let us acknowledge the people’s p+in and let them know that this reform is coming with this p+in but at the end of the day we will be happy,” Seyi Law said.

He explained that while he anticipated the government’s reforms would come with difficulties, he also shares in the burden. “I said something that my experience, my understanding does not invalidate your experience. It doesn’t. Did I know that those policies were going to come with p+in? I knew. I feel the pain too.”

Citing his own financial strain, Aletile noted how the depreciation of the naira has deepened expenses for his family. “My family has been in the UK since 2019. For every Naira that I change to pounds, it costs me N2000. It wasn’t what it was costing me before. It means if I was spending N2M before, I have to spend N5M, so it comes with p+in,” he said.

Seyi Law’s comments echo the frustration of millions of Nigerians grappling with the impact of recent economic policies, even as the government maintains that reforms will bring long-term relief.

I don't blame you lots; I only blame those fools who can't afford a meal for joining you in your propaganda.

Was it my State governor or LGA chairman that removed the Subsidy that took the price of everything over the roof?

Quite obvious that your mind is still in military mentality, what the great Fela Kuti tagged colonial mentality.

The problem with most of u wailers, is that u do not understand the democrazy u practice, hence ur mind still remains in a perpetual state of poverty.

Suddenly Seyi Law is aware his disaster kinsman of a president reigns have brought unprecedented pain, anger, hunger and hardship upon the land. Yet he boldly told the world he would vote the same source of plague again and again. So who is fooling who?
