Nollywood actress and filmmaker Mary Remmy Njoku has expressed concern over what she described as a growing culture of indifference to serious issues affecting Nigerians.
In a post shared on her social media page, Njoku lamented what she described as the public becoming accustomed to disturbing incidents to the point where accountability is no longer expected.
She particularly raised concerns about food safety, warning that children could unknowingly consume harmful substances disguised as ordinary drinks.“People are cooking with dye. Our children might be drinking poison disguised as juice,” she wrote.
Njoku also criticised the perceived lack of accountability among authorities, using a sarcastic reference to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) while expressing frustration over the situation.

The actress further drew attention to the reported deaths of more than 30 young men in the custody of authorities, describing the development as another tragedy that risked being quickly forgotten as public attention moved to the next crisis.
Her comments highlighted broader concerns about public safety, regulatory enforcement and the tendency for serious incidents to fade from public discussion without clear accountability. “Not just that terrible things are happening.
But that we are becoming so used to them that we no longer expect anyone to be held accountable,” Njoku wrote. Her post has added to ongoing public conversations around consumer protection, food and drug safety, and the treatment of people in official custody.
