I’m afraid for Nigeria — Shine Rosman

By Ayo Onikoyi

Nollywood actress Shine Rosman has expressed deep concern about the state of Nigeria, while also reflecting on personal loss and the lasting influence of her late father in an emotional interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on With Chude.

Speaking during the conversation, Rosman opened up about her relationship with her father, describing the time she had with him as impactful despite its brevity.

“Some people never got to know their father. I got to know mine for a good fifteen years. Wish it had been longer but in the time that he was here I am grateful for that time. I am taking up all that I got from him and I am trying to emulate his kindness, his positivity, his love, his trusting spirit.”

She explained that the lessons she drew from him continue to shape her outlook on life and relationships, noting that she consciously carries forward the values he instilled in her.

“You meet people and each person that comes into your life they have something that you take from them. And so I try to take as much as a daughter is meant to take from her father in the time that he was here with me.”

Rosman also used the platform to speak on her fears about the country’s direction, praising the resilience and talent of Nigerians while questioning the system that limits their potential.

“I am afraid for this country. Nigeria has so much potential. Nigeria has Nigerians and Nigerians thrive in whatever situation. Nigerians are insanely talented and driven people but the environment that we exist in doesn’t allow us reach our potential as much as we want to.”
