The actresses took to Instagram to lament bitterly about the state of the nation with Mercy Aigbe in her own post appealing to Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, to beg his father to do something about the present situation of the country.
The filmmaker made the appeal in an Instagram post with disturbing footage of a group of people collecting what seem to be food items from an NGO foundation.
