Kate Henshaw says pedestrians are more respected abroad than in Nigeria

Actress Kate Henshaw, has expressed strong criticism of Nigeria’s traffic laws and pedestrian policies, drawing contrasts with practices in developed countries.

During a recent appearance on News Central TV, Henshaw stressed the lack of orderliness and respect for pedestrians in Nigeria, revealing the need for improvement.

“It is advisable to travel the world or to as many places as one can afford, to see how others function in their societies. To see how orderliness can indeed be a mindset that must be imbibed,” Henshaw stated, highlighting the importance of observing how societies abroad prioritize pedestrian rights.

She further pointed out, “One thing I have seen is the power of pedestrians in developed countries, as opposed to here, where if you’re not driving a car, you are considered persona non grata.”

Referencing the Nigerian Highway Code, Henshaw expressed her surprise over the disparity between written laws and the reality on the ground.

She explained that the highway code states that pedestrians have the right of way at a crossing once they step onto it, but in practice, this is far from true. “I boldly state that this is a complete fallacy. The pedestrian has no right whatsoever and is even dared to step on the faded zebra stripes if they are so emboldened. Abroad, pedestrians and even animals are respected,” she said.
