OpenLife reports that popular Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo has publicly reacted to the recent wave of violence in Jos, expressing grief and reaffirming his commitment to standing with ordinary Nigerians during times of crisis.

Reflecting on his past, the actor admitted that he may not have always spoken in ways that fully represented his beliefs. However, he emphasized that the current situation has compelled him to reassess and speak more boldly.
“The tragic events in Jos, Nigeria, broke my heart. I may have made a misaligned call in the past thoughts made in a moment, with good intentions but I cannot stay silent when I realise I may have overlooked my core values.”
Ninalowo further explained that his concern is rooted in humanity rather than politics, stressing that real change is what truly matters. “My hope is for change, not for political support. I cannot stand by and watch people suffer for any reason. Nigerians bleed, and I will not be ignorant of that reality.”
He ended his message with a prayer, expressing hope for a better future for the nation. “May God bring the change we all desire to make Nigeria a better place. God bless & help Nigeria.”
