Veteran Nollywood star Pete Edochie has expressed concern over the difficulties Nigerians face in accessing essential amenities.

The actor, while commenting on the country’s worsening economic situation, revealed the significant daily costs he incurs to maintain basic utilities such as electricity.

The 78-year-old also voiced dissatisfaction with what he described as the marginalisation of the South-East by some political leaders, especially in the distribution of national infrastructure like railway networks.

During a recent appearance on JIGSAW, aired on African Independent Television, Edochie disclosed that he spends approximately N40,000 every day on electricity and fuel.

“I spend N40,000 in my home every day for light. It disturbs me a lot. N10,000 for electricity and additional N30,000 on diesel and fuel.

“Nobody seems to be bothered about what is happening to the common man. Why must it keep getting worse on each new day? Can we not improve? There was a time when somebody cut off the South-East in terms of railway transportation. Why must there be consistency in going backwards?” he asked.
