In a post on his Instagram page, the ex-footballer expressed frustration over the country’s current situation, stating that anyone who believes a better Nigeria will emerge under the same leadership is “dreaming.” He criticized what he described as widespread insecurity, including kidnapping, and alleged suppression of free speech.
According to Emenike, road travel has become unsafe due to rising cases of abduction. He also claimed that individuals who speak out against those in power risk being targeted and arrested. The former striker further alleged that public funds are being looted by a few individuals at the expense of the general population.
Comparing Nigeria to the United Arab Emirates, he questioned why Nigeria, despite its vast natural and human resources, has not achieved similar levels of development. He attributed the country’s challenges to what he described as “criminals in power.”
“If you believe in a better country in the hands of your oppressors, you are dreaming. Keep going to church and shout ‘fire’ every day; these people don’t care.
No more road trips.
Kidnapping everywhere.
If you talk, they will set you up and arrest you.
Individuals are looting money that belongs to everyone.
What stops our country from being like the UAE? We have the resources, but many criminals are in power.
No respect if your father is a political criminal”.
