Nollywood veteran and activist Hilda Dokubo didn’t hold back when she reacted to a viral video of a Nigerian House of Representatives member struggling to move a motion during a plenary session. The clip, which spread like wildfire on social media, showed the lawmaker fumbling words and failing to articulate a coherent point, leaving viewers stunned and sparking a wave of reactions.
Dokubo, known for her sharp commentary, took to Instagram with biting sarcasm: “Can we all give him a big round of applause? Kai! Can you all see why they don’t speak? Why those of us who can speak annoy them?” Her post highlighted a deeper issue—how some elected officials seem unprepared to represent their constituents effectively. The lawmaker’s struggle, despite guidance from Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu, has fueled debates about competence in Nigeria’s legislature.
