Nigerian comedian I Go Save has raised concerns over the poor condition of roads across Southern Nigeria, questioning why vehicle owners are required to maintain roadworthy cars when many of the roads they use are far from being motorable.
The comedian expressed his frustration over the state of infrastructure, drawing attention to the difficulties motorists face while travelling on roads that are riddled with potholes and other forms of deterioration.
In a thought-provoking remark, I Go Save asked how taxpayers’ vehicles could be described as “roadworthy” when several roads in the region are not suitable for the cars expected to ply them.
His comment has sparked conversations about the condition of roads in Southern Nigeria and the responsibilities of both motorists and government authorities.

@Elan James:”😂 The irony is painful. How can cars be roadworthy when the roads themselves are not? 😭🇳🇬”
@Saint Vincent:”Lol this is a very good question cause I don’t understand how my car would be “Road worthy” and the road isn’t worthy of my car. This isn’t funny”
@DRINK WATER 🇧🇪:”Irony of life abi how una dey talk am 😂😂😂”
In other news… Nelson, while reflecting on her career journey, warned people against looking down on others, saying nobody can predict how far another person will go in life.
“I didn’t see Funke going far. That’s why in life, don’t underestimate anybody. Don’t look down on anyone except you’re admiring their shoelace.”
She added: “If I knew Funke would go far like this, I would have held her tight because I can’t even see her back now.”
According to Nelson, Akindele had introduced her to veteran filmmaker Odunfa after they met through a mutual friend. At the time, Nelson provided houses as filming locations and had already interacted with several people in the industry.
She recalled that Akindele later approached her for a filming location and repeatedly encouraged her to join the movie industry.
However, Nelson admitted that she did not recognise the opportunity and took Akindele’s calls for granted.
“I missed that big opportunity because Funke was telling me then that, ‘Ah, why don’t you come?’”
Nelson said she became hesitant after hearing stories about the Yoruba movie industry, including claims that newcomers were expected to show excessive respect to senior colleagues.
“I was telling her, ‘I’ve heard a lot about Yoruba industry. They will say you should say auntie. They will say you should kneel down. Then one person say you should carry bag.’”
Looking back, the actress said she has learnt an important lesson about humility and respecting everyone regardless of their current status.
“That is why you need to humble yourself in life. If there’s anything I’ve learned in life now, it’s humility.”
Nelson also apologised to Kunle Afod, Sodiq Adebayo and Funke Akindele, appealing for another opportunity to work with them.
Her admission has since sparked reactions online, with some social media users saying her experience is a reminder not to underestimate people based on their position at a particular time.
