Pete Edochie Discusses Frustration at Not Being Able to Withdraw Money on His 76th Birthday (Video)

On his 76th birthday, renowned Nollywood actor Pete Edochie expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Nigeria. In a video shared on his Instagram page, he expressed his grievances, saying, “I should be happy today but I’m not because I can’t go to the bank to withdraw money which belongs to me and was told it’s for my own good. I can’t go to the filling station and buy fuel for my car, again must be for my own good. Electricity has been epileptic and has even now become worse. Elections manifest themselves as selection and tried to find out why but no one offered any explanation, so I said to myself, ‘Pete, it must be for your own good.'”

In the video caption, he further expressed his discontent with the situation in Nigeria, asking, “Was the Presidential election an ELECTION or SELECTION? We need EXPLANATION as a NATION.” He concluded by saying that being a Nigerian is a full-time job that comes with an inherent perpetual anxiety.
