Actors Charles Inojie and Ali Nuhu have sparked conversation on the pressing issue of domestic violence through their viral video titled #MakeWeHalla.
The video features the two talented actors in a humorous yet thought-provoking short video, emphasising the importance of speaking out against domestic violence.
The video has caught the attention of viewers across various demographics, sparking discussions on online platforms.
Among many Nigerians who have been inspired by the video is a fast-rising actor and social media influencer, Joseph Momodu.
He wrote, “Yesoooo Oga Charles. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Domestic violence is not good and the more reason to really Halla!!”
Film director Falalu Abubakar Dorayi, also known as Falalu A. Dorayi, cautioned against sitting on the fence while witnessing incidents of domestic violence.
He wrote: “Women abuse is a bad behavior. Silence, when we see people doing (it), is like giving a chance to continue. It’s true, everywhere we see signs of “abuse” happening. Let’s expose the secrets. #MakeWeHalla.”
“This is powerful. We must halla! Like I always say, to fix this nation, you must fix yourself first. You are a part of the nation; once you fix you, you have fixed the nation. This is applicable to a community where domestic violence thrives,” actor Lanre Adediwura added.
Yoruba actress Kiitan Bukola who also voiced her opinion said that Nigerians cannot continue to sit on the fence in the face of domestic violence.
“We must halla; we can’t continue to ignore. let’s kick against domestic violence…,“ she wrote.
With their trademark wit and charm, Charles and Ali delivered a compelling message; when Nigerians witness domestic violence, they must make noise, they must ‘halla’.
The success of #MakeWeHalla is empowering communities to break the cycle of silence and stigma by encouraging individuals to speak up.
The actors’ efforts have not gone unnoticed, as their initiative has garnered widespread praise and support from both fans and advocacy groups alike.
