The actress said Nigerians love and worship other international acts by watching their shows and begging them for attention. She also added that while entertainers try to keep people entertained, Nigerians are trying to tear them apart instead of giving constructive criticism. She concluded that these and many more make people fall into depression and commit suicide.
Read her full post below:
“You know, it’s so disturbing and disappointing the way Nigerians hate to support their own but go crazy worshipping International acts. Commenting like, ‘Omg if you reply me, I will die’ begging for follow backs from them, literally building houses on all their post like they pay them or something. Subscribing to watch Love and Hip Hop blah blah.
“When they go nude, you will go there and comment ‘woman crush till infinity’ But when it’s a Nigerian trying to live his or her life and do things differently, build different brands, some of you will shake your lives on the table with criticism and hate. God is watching! That’s all I will say.
“People are out here trying and going through a lot to keep you entertained and get to the bag at the same time but instead of us to support or give constructive criticisms, we try to tear them down with hate. Why? And tomorrow we will ask why someone committed suicide? Or why someone is depressed? Do you know how hard it is to make a reality show? Talk more of how much it is to make it? We are not even saying don’t criticize but do it with the last bit of dignity left in you!
“Even East Africa support their own more than we do. We need to support our people more. Be more open to things that seem new or things that have never been done, it only gets better Let us be better Human Beings!
Tell me if I’m wrong to think this way. Are we ready for change or what?”
