I have no desire to prove what my contributions are – Kate Henshaw

Henshaw says everyone should place their focus on their leaders.

Nigerian actress Kate Henshaw has clapped back at a critic who told her to ‘do more’ for Nigeria, making it clear that she is not interested in explaining herself or her contributions.

Following the recent Independence Day celebrations on October 1, 2024, an X user posted a picture and video of the actress in her green and white outfit, asking her to aid the fight against corruption.

The critic wrote, “Kate, your attitude is really beautiful, but we all must do more to bring relief to a bedridden battered country bleeding from so many wounds, knowing the leaders all failed woefully. The giant of Africa, is very rich with so many resources but the citizens are the poorest, striving to survive amidst serious hardship. We need to collectively fight corruption, insecurity, injustice, underdevelopment and many more, to enable healing.”

Her post caused widespread confusion for those who read it. Another X user asked her, “Wetin you want make she do?”

Henshaw saw the comment and promptly replied, “Toh. I shouldn’t smile or wear clothes naaaa.”

Henshaw then directly replied to the critic, saying, “Your compliment about my attire & the rest of your comment leaves me wondering if you think I am the problem you have described. I have no desire to prove to you what my contributions are. You have “rulers” whose job description they are yet to carry out. Thanks.”

The actress also reposted a tweet that read, “Nigerians would rather attack everything else than the root of the problem. If they do, it will solve the problem and leave them without something to always complain about. As you can see, complaining is our hobby and national pass time. So, Madam Kate, ignore these trolls and keep winning. Nigerians would always be Nigerians.”
