Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has expressed frustration over what she described as the disturbing frequency of tragedies and alleged wrongdoing in Nigeria, saying Nigerians appear to have become accustomed to them.
The actress said the repeated incidents have reached a point where many people no longer expect those responsible to be held accountable.
Prompt News reports Njoku highlighted concerns over the use of dyes in food preparation and the safety of products consumed by Nigerians, while also referring to comments involving the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control.
She further raised concern over the deaths of more than 30 young men while in the custody of authorities, saying public attention often shifts quickly to another incident before meaningful accountability is achieved.
According to the actress, social media reactions have increasingly followed the same pattern: hashtags emerge, outrage spreads and calls for justice dominate conversations, only for public attention to eventually fade.

She shared her thoughts in a post, writing: “Not just that terrible things are happening.
But that we are becoming so used to them that we no longer expect anyone to be held accountable.
People are cooking with dye. Our children might be drinking poison disguised as juice.
And NAFDAC Mummy’s laughing at us.
Now, over 30 young men have died in the custody of the authorities.
Again, we are already moving on to the next tragedy.
Another hashtag.
Another outrage.
Another demand for justice.
And then silence.
This is not normal.
I am just tired, I guess”.
