Taking to Instagram, the veteran actress shared her frustrations about how essential resources, which she described as “freely given by God,” have turned into major financial pressures for ordinary citizens. Her post struck a chord with followers, as she highlighted the struggles faced by families living under the poverty line.
“Lord, the Light (electricity) and water that you created, you gave to us freely, they are down here charging us crazily for it… I mean beyond crazy,” she wrote, capturing both her exasperation and empathy.
Chinda went further to question how millions of Nigerians, already battling the realities of poverty, manage to survive under the weight of mounting tariffs and inflation. “How are people living beyond the poverty threshold managing? How do we navigate through this crisis? Never giving up,” she added.
Her comments come at a time when many Nigerians are voicing similar concerns about the high cost of basic utilities. With electricity tariffs reviewed upwards and access to potable water often unreliable, households are being forced to stretch already thin incomes to cover essentials.
By publicly airing her concerns, Chinda not only reflects the daily frustrations of countless citizens but also draws attention to a national conversation on affordability and survival in the face of economic hardship.
