Nollywood actress and movie producer, Omoni Oboli, has criticised Nigerians for insulting celebrities who speak about the problems in Nigeria.
The 40-year-old screen goddess made the rebuke in an Instagram post on Wednesday.
“This is something that really bothers me! Let’s discuss it! I don’t blame celebs and public figures when they keep quiet about the issues that affect us all because the backlash lash is always so much. It makes no sense at all. Most of these issues let’s be honest, affect the common man the most but they are the ones that will insult your family if you dare speak up!
“So because someone bought a car or a house, they have no right to talk about the suffering of the masses? Listen, no matter how much money you have in Nigeria today, you are poorer because you are spending more than you should cos the cost of living is higher and the standard of living is very poor! Nigerians, na who do us this thing?!!! Smh 🤦🏽♀️ 😡,” she wrote.
Recenetly, actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, came under fire for saying the nation had been hellish under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
Her comments sparked debates on social media with many accusing her of a variety of offences.
