Actress Rita Dominic has expressed her concerns about the current state of the nation.
In a tweet posted today May 31, Rita said everyone is watching Nigeria slip into anarchy.
Her tweet reads
''I am afraid that we are watching Nigeria slip into anarchy. It is surreal. Our elected officials need to work harder to douse the tension in the country. We need peace to reign. Harassing and killing innocent citizens can never solve anything.''
Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana and his son, Folarin Falana, popularly known as, Falz, have taken to streets of Lagos to protest against bad governance and insecurity in Nigeria.

Islamic police popularly known as Hisbah has destroyed 260 cartons of alcoholic drinks in the Misau Local Government Area of the state.
The Permanent Commissioner in charge of Hisbah, Barrister Aminu Isah, who disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists on Sunday, May 30, said the exercise was conducted in the presence of security agencies and the Chairman of the Bauchi State Shariah Commission.
According to the commissioner, Hisbah acted based on Section 403 of the Bauchi State law which empowers it to stop the sale and consumption of alcohol in the state.
"The state Hisbah command would like to reitrate its commitment and determination in ensuring that the provision of Sharia will continue to be fully implemented across the state and without vindictiveness, witchunt, fear or favour," the statement reads.
“While we solicit for understanding and cooperation of all and sundry, the state Sharia commission wishes to appreciate the people of the state for their understanding and cooperation which serves as the catalyst for the successes recorded in making Bauchi a crime free society."

Apart from the fire service, other responders at the scene included the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the Federal Fire Service.
Although the actual cause of the fire is still unknown, President-General, Ladipo Central Executive Auto Dealers Association (LCEADA), Jude Nwankwo, told The Guardian that the fire started from a shop ostensibly as a result of electrical problems and escalated to the residential building housing shops.
He also said goods worth millions of naira were lost in the fire.
Nwankwo said the fire started from a single storey building used for selling motor parts.
According to him, the fire started from a shop ostensibly as a result of electrical problems and escalated to the residential building, which had attached rented shops.
The fire, he said, spread fast because attached shops were not decked.
Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer of LASEMA, Dr. Olufemi Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, said the fire had been put out.
He commended responders for ensuring that the fire did not escalate.
In a related development, another fire gutted a building at No. 36 Abeokuta Expressway, in the Dopemu area of Lagos.
The spokesman for the state fire service, Amodu Shuabu, however, appealed to residents to maintain peace as efforts were on to put out the raging inferno.

Commercial activities and vehicular movements were paralyzed in Enugu metropolis, on Monday, in compliance with the sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to honour fallen heroes who died in the struggle for Biafra.
All the markets in Enugu and its environs, banks and parks were shut down as there was no vehicular movement.
All the schools scheduled to reopen for the third term today remained shut even as some private schools which had already resumed for the third term before now in the state were also closed.
Our correspondent, who monitored the exercise, also observed that most private hospitals were closed except those that had inpatients.
The Nation also gathered that roads were deserted as no vehicle was seen around the popular Holy Ghost, Old Market, Agbani, Ogui Roads, New Haven, Abakpa and Independence Layout as of the time of filling this report.
However, there were security operatives patrolling the city in a show of force to ensure that nobody breached the law.
Some other security operatives were stationed at various areas such as the three-arm zone, 82 Division of Nigerian Army, various police formations across the state and the Correctional Centre in Enugu.
Most ever-busy roads and streets were taken over by youths who converted them to football pitches, our correspondent observed.
Apart from the youths playing football, it was also observed that people were afraid to be seen in clusters for fear of being attacked.
A visit to Ogbete Main Market, Kenyatta and Mayor Markets along Agbani showed that the gates to the market and all shops were locked while no trader was seen around as it was the usual practice in the past.
Residents who were seen trekking on the streets were identified by our reporter as those searching for food vendors, as most of them did not envisage the compliance to be total.
A few others were seen trekking to their various destinations as there were no commercial vehicles, motorcycles or tricycles to convey them to their various places, while a few private vehicles were moving around without any hindrance.
A resident of Obiagu Street in Ogui New Layout, Emeka Ugwu, described the sit-at-home as an annual ritual where every Biafran, anywhere in the world, would respect and honour those who fought and died for the freedom of the people.
“We are observing the sit-at-home. This is not the first time. But it is the first time it is becoming a huge success in Enugu here. So, it is an annual exercise in Biafraland. We want to honour our dead heroes for dying to liberate us”.
Another resident, Odoh Anthony, said he simply obeyed the sit-at-home order to avoid the problem.
According to him, “What is the need of going out and when there is a problem, the police will come and arrest the innocent people. So, it’s better that I stayed at home and avoid their problem”
Meanwhile, the Enugu State government, Monday, shifted the resumption date for primary and post-primary schools in the state to June 7, 2021.
The schools were earlier billed to resume today, May 31, 2021.
In what appeared to have been influenced by the sit-at-home-order by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in commemoration of the Biafran Day today, the state ministry of education shifted the date by one week.
The state commissioner for education, Prof Uche Eze, advised parents/guardians to ‘ensure that their wards complete all holiday assignments given to them before schools reopen’.
The state polytechnic, Iwollo, also cancelled all academic activities billed for today (Monday). The registrar/secretary to the council, Dr Mrs. Oby Igwesi, in a statement, said, “I am directed to inform you that all activities in the school today, Monday 31st 2021, have been cancelled.
“This is due to unforeseen circumstances. Please be guided accordingly.”
This is the terrifying moment a couple smashed through their balcony railings and plunged 25ft to the pavement below after having a row.
Footage shows Olga Volkova and Yevgeny Karlagin, both 35, struggling on the floor of the second-floor balcony of their home in St Petersburg, Russia, on Saturday morning.
While the pair were arguing, they smashed into the balcony railings which suddenly gave way and caused the couple to fall onto the concrete below.
Ms Volkova was wearing underwear with a robe or blanket wrapped around her when they fell, while Mr Karlagin was fully dressed.
The pair were rushed to hospital with ‘serious’ injuries, reported local media.
Both are said to have suffered broken limbs but they are not in a critical condition.
Eyewitnesses said they saw the pair, who have a young son, arguing at around 10am before they were hurled from the balcony.
Witness Denis told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: ‘I was walking with my colleague and filming the historic street view.
‘I noticed the row and began to shoot when this happened.
‘Someone with medical experience was nearby, and checked their pulses, saying they had both survived.
