“Today, Cow Better Pass Human Being” – Empress Njamah Shares Late Ada Ameh’s Haunting Plea for Benue Amid New Killings

In a moment that has deeply moved Nigerians across the globe, Nollywood actress Empress Njamah has shared a powerful throwback video of her late best friend, Ada Ameh, passionately pleading for prayers and justice for Benue State, a region long plagued by senseless killings and insecurity.

In the tearful video, Ada, who passed away in 2022, emotionally decried the state of her homeland, lamenting the daily bloodshed and displacement of families. Her words—“Today cow better pass human being”—carry a chilling resonance, especially now as Benue grapples with yet another massacre, with over 200 people reportedly burnt alive in recent days.

🕊 “Your Strength, Courage, and Voice Will Never Be Forgotten”

Sharing the heartbreaking clip on Instagram, Empress Njamah paid tribute to Ada’s unwavering love for her people:

“KEEP RESTING IN PEACE MY DEAREST ADA 💔
Your strength, courage, and voice will never be forgotten. Your state, your people... they all deserve a peaceful state. Your legacy lives on.”

The post, tagged #PrayForBenue, has gone viral—triggering renewed conversations about the persistent violence in Nigeria’s Middle Belt, and the neglect of humanitarian concerns in rural communities.

💭 OPINION: Ada's Cry Is a Warning Nigeria Can No Longer Ignore

Ada Ameh wasn’t just mourning the tragedy—she was calling for national conscience. And now, three years after her passing, her words have taken on a prophetic weight.

“Killing people every day and there is nothing anybody can do. This is too much now,” she had said. That "too much" has now become the norm.

Nigeria must ask itself — how many more mothers must cry, how many more towns must burn before the urgency of security in Benue and beyond becomes a priority, not an afterthought?

This isn’t just about Benue. It’s about what kind of country we are becoming when one woman’s heartfelt plea becomes an eternal echo, instead of a call answered.
