Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw has taken a bold stance on Nigeria’s traffic laws, drawing comparisons with practices in developed countries like Canada.

In a recent statement, she emphasized the need for Nigerians to embrace orderliness and respect for pedestrians, urging them to travel abroad to witness well-coordinated traffic systems.

Henshaw recounted her experience in Canada where, despite a temporary malfunction of traffic lights, drivers maintained order without chaos or disruption.

“It is advisable to travel the world or to as many places as one can afford, to see how others function in their societies,” she remarked, highlighting the stark contrast to Nigeria’s sometimes chaotic traffic scenes.

The actress expressed concern over the treatment of pedestrians in Nigeria, citing discrepancies between traffic regulations and actual practice.

“The Nigerian highway code states that pedestrians have the right of way at crossings, but in reality, they are often disregarded,” she stated emphatically.

Reflecting on her Canadian experience, Henshaw praised the discipline observed by drivers who voluntarily regulated traffic flow until the lights were restored.

“No traffic warden stepped in to organize the people,” she observed, contrasting it with the perceived disorderliness in Nigerian traffic management.

Her remarks have sparked reactions among fans and followers, with many echoing her sentiments on the need for improved traffic management and pedestrian rights in Nigeria.

Kate Henshaw continues to advocate for societal improvements through her platform, using her influence to shed light on issues affecting everyday Nigerians.

As discussions on traffic laws and pedestrian policies gain momentum, her advocacy serves as a call to action for stakeholders to prioritize order and safety on Nigerian roads.
