Stephanie Promise Ikedieze, the wife of Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, widely known as Aki, has attracted attention online after a video showed her repairing potholes on a road in Ikeja, Lagos. In the video shared on her Instagram page, Stephanie was seen arriving with bags of gravel and cement in the boot of her car before using the materials to patch damaged sections of the road. While documenting the effort, she explained that she stepped out with her cameraman to address the potholes herself in an attempt to make the road easier and safer for motorists who use the route daily. “So, guys, we are here today, this is Ikeja. I want to fill up some of the potholes we have here on the street, just me and my cameraman,” she said in the clip. The video quickly generated mixed reactions across social media. Many Nigerians applauded her initiative, describing it as a thoughtful gesture and praising her for taking action where authorities are often criticised for inaction. However, some people questioned whether she had obtained official permission before carrying out the work. Others also expressed concern that using cement and gravel on a public road without authorisation could potentially attract attention from government officials.

You are working on a major road caution ⚠️ sign. If you ask me it, it is more of a self and eye-service than community service.” @ty_autos:”Somebody is trying to do wat ur government refuse to do ,applaud her instead u hold ur phone typing and bashing her instead of bashing ur so call government that refuse to do their job and u think u are okay ,continue ,kudos to her for doing her part.” @ReformerOluseun:”Nothing the people won’t do for the government at this point. So we still need to be filling the roads after taxation, digging Borehole, Buying solar and Gen, Using private schools and Hospitals, using uber and private transportation. What exactly is the government doing to make life easy for the people they govern?” @Yugobros:”Shame no dey show for the local government people face? 😂 An ordinary citizen is doing the needful because they are tired of waiting for an incompetent government to do their jobs!”
