Chidi congratulated Nigerians who independently provide security, healthcare, electricity, education and welfare for themselves, despite the ‘cluelessness’ of the government.
The actor also listed the numerous infrastructures that citizens provide for themselves which are the responsibility of the government.
He wrote, “I congratulate every Nigerian who, in spite of the cluelessness of government, continues to INDEPENDENTLY provide their own security, healthcare, electricity, light, education, welfare, food, even if na 0-1-0. You Be Your Own Government.
“INDEPENDENT

“I provide my own transformer
