Actor Kunle Remi has expressed regret over the country’s rising insecurity and urged Nigerians not to become numb to human suffering.
In an emotive letter posted online, the actor requested people to remember the families and children who are being displaced due to violence and insecurity, stressing that many are forced to sleep in forests under terrible and terrifying conditions.
He described parents living in fear and mothers struggling desperately to safeguard their children during the crisis.
Kunle Remi also questioned why political campaigns and election activities continue as if everything is normal considering the disasters that have occurred around the country.
He critiqued society’s increasing tendency to move on fast from unpleasant situations without expressing empathy or outrage.
The actor closed by advising against growing emotionally numb to violence and suffering, stating that Nigerians must never become so accustomed to tragedy that they lose compassion for the victims.

“As I settle in for the night, I can’t help but think…
As you go to bed tonight, remember there are children sleeping in forests… imagine the cold, the bugs, the fear, the discomfort.
Remember there is a mother holding her baby, helpless. Parents praying for safety. Schools living in fear.
And somehow, in the middle of all this…
election campaigns and preparations still continue bloggers are posting election like everything is normal.
May we never become so used to tragedy that we stop feeling it.”
