Following the remarkable success of their viral anti-domestic violence video ‘Make We Halla,’ renowned Nigerian actors Charles Inojie and Ali Nuhu are imploring Nigerians to continue to tackle the menace of domestic violence in Nigeria.
“We are truly grateful for the tremendous response to ‘Make We Halla,’” said Inojie. “The outpouring of support and engagement from the public has been inspiring. Now we want to take the momentum to the next level. We are asking bystanders to take action – Make We Halla – to show they don’t agree with violence and take a stand.”
The #MakeWeHalla challenge invites individuals to show that they will make ‘halla,’ — a street slang that translates to protest — in the face of domestic violence, by posting a video or photo of them protesting with the hashtag #MakeWeHalla.
Nuhu has since encouraged his fans to join in the challenge, saying “It is time to turn those words into action. Let’s show the world that you will halla anywhere you see domestic violence.”
Inojie further disclosed that there would be a prize for the best creative photo or video about the challenge.
