In the now-viral video, Henshaw showcased herself enjoying a meal while subtly suggesting how she might react when someone asks her for financial assistance.
“Pls go and queue for your palliative🙄🙄😒” she captioned the video.
The clip immediately caught the attention of a tweep, who quickly slammed the actress for her apparent insensitivity towards the struggles many Nigerians face.
“You see, this is a problem. Everytime y’all sore losers lose, you go for the poor. The same poor you conveniently claim to be fighting for when it suits you.
