Nollywood actress, Mary Njoku, has urged eligible Nigerians to cast their votes for competent candidates during the upcoming general elections.

The renowned actress, who took to her Instagram page to give the advice, said Nigerians should vote out their “undesirable” candidates in the February 25 and March 11 elections.

She described Nigeria’s problems as physical, urging Nigerians to “stop invoking spiritual solutions to it.”

The actress said although Nigeria had many churches and mosques, it lacked basic infrastructure, physical justice, security, and food.

She added that despite all the prayers invoked by Nigerians, God still had not punished those referred to as ‘’bad politicians.’’

‘’Even with all our prayers, God still never punishes bad politicians,” she said. “Isn’t this a sign that we should stop disturbing Him with our physical problems?”

She maintained that the only solution was ‘’to vote against somebody who is not good for the job.’’

Njoku is a Nigerian actress, film producer and the director general of Lagos-based film house ROK Studios.
