Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde is saying it like she means it.

On Thursday 13th June 2013, the Nollywood sensation took to social networking site Twitter to speak on the lamentable state of the country, caused by many Nigerian leaders who fail to deliver their constitutional responsibilities.

The 35 year old human rights activist who was recently honoured as an icon by Time Magazine tweeted “Hmm…I keep asking. What is the value of a Nigerian life. What is the primary job of a government.”
