Bam Bam breaks down in tears over widespread national insecurity

May 27, 2026 No comments

Actress Bam Bam has expressed deep concern over the rising levels of insecurity, health-related challenges, and recurring tragedies affecting individuals and families in Nigeria.

In a reflective public statement and video, she described a growing sense of emotional exhaustion within society, pointing to repeated cases of kidnapping, loss of lives, serious illnesses, and widespread fear as issues contributing to collective distress.

She questioned the effectiveness of current systems in addressing these challenges, especially in relation to public safety and healthcare delivery, while emphasizing the need for stronger institutional response and accountability.

In the video she shared, she was seen in tears over the repeated tragedy facing Nigerians.

Her words read …

“What’s the SOLUTION?!!! What’s the solution, people?

We’ve cried. We’ve made flyers. We’ve wailed. We’ve prayed. Yet the pain keeps coming. 💔

Kidnappings. Loss. Cancer. Grief. Fear.

It feels like we’re all just trying to survive one tragedy after another.

And honestly… where is the government in all of this?

How many more people need to go missing?

How many more families need to mourn before safety, healthcare, and human lives are treated like a priority?

Today it’s someone else’s loved one… tomorrow it could be ours.

Please check on your people. Call them. Love them loudly. Be kinder. Be softer with people. You truly never know what someone is carrying.

And cancer… cancer is a bastard.

It has taken two people I deeply care about, and I’m honestly tired of pretending we have time. We don’t always.

Please do regular health checkups.

Please listen to your body.

Please take your health seriously.

Please don’t wait till it’s too late.

We deserve better.

Better security. Better healthcare. Better leadership. Better humanity. ❤️🕊️”

Nollywood actor Jim Iyke has opened up about the emotional struggles that led to the end of his marriage, revealing that he lost his spark in life and became overly devoted to fatherhood.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, he disclosed that he became fully consumed by fatherhood during a difficult period in his life, admitting that his wife suffered because of the emotional changes he was going through.

“I lost my spark, and my wife suffered for it. And then I became an obsessive dad. I gave everything in me to my son. I was a proper stay-at-home dad,” he said.

Jim Iyke revealed that he eventually became a better father than husband, explaining that the situation affected his relationship after his wife could no longer recognise the man she married.

The veteran actor said he was honest with his wife about his emotional struggles and told her he was unsure how long it would take him to heal and become himself again.

“I became an excellent father but a woeful husband. After a while, she said, ‘I can’t find the man I married anymore.’ I told her, ‘I don’t know what it’d take for me to heal and bring myself back.

If you want to wait for me, I’d appreciate it. And if you can’t, I would understand.’ She said she couldn’t, so we shook hands and parted as friends,” he added.

Many social media users praised the actor for being open about his emotional struggles, while others shared differing opinions on marriage, healing, and balancing family responsibilities.

One user wrote, “At least he was honest about his struggles and emotions. A real man!” Another added, “This is why communication and emotional support are important in marriage.”

My dad is one of the reasons Nigeria has democracy – Kiddwaya

Reality TV personality Kiddwaya has shared personal reflections about his father’s influence and his family’s alleged role in Nigeria’s political history.

Speaking in an interview, Kiddwaya described Banana Island in Lagos as one of the most expensive and luxurious real estate locations in Africa, adding that he only learned about parts of his father’s involvement in its recognition after a media interview.

He also spoke about his father’s humble nature, noting that he does not publicly boast about his achievements but is open when asked about them.

Kiddwaya further recounted a story he said he recently learned, claiming his father had close ties with military leadership during Nigeria’s period of military rule.

According to him, after the death of former Head of State Sani Abacha, a close associate of his father allegedly assumed leadership and later sought his advice on transitioning the country to civilian rule.

He claimed his father advised that Nigeria should return to democratic governance, allowing citizens to vote for their leaders, a development he believes contributed to the country’s current democratic system.

“Banana Island is the most expensive, luxurious piece of land in Africa. It’s quite small, on the island in Lagos, I never knew he discovered it until he made that statement on BBC. My dad is very like that. He doesn’t blow his own trumpet. When you ask him, he will tell you.

And I have another fascinating story that I just found out. He hasn’t told anybody. I didn’t know that my dad was one of the reasons that Nigeria had a democracy. He was very close with the Army back in the day when we had military rule.

When Sani Abacha died, my dad’s close friend was the second in command, so his friend became president. So he came to the house, I wasn’t born then, he came to the house and said look, Terry, I’m president now, I don’t really know what to do, what should we do. And he said, give it to democracy. Like make it a democracy so the people can vote.

When he told me that, I was like, dad you should tell people this. He is one of the reasons Nigeria has a democracy…” he said.
