Her words …
“I woke up today with a very heart…The bullying many of you subject our colleagues to in the creative industry is crazy…
Politics
They freely can’t share their opinion, they can’t post their jobs without being called insensitive..
We go to bank to take loans to shoot movies with high interest rate, but you want us to suspend our jobs and be posting videos of kidnapping and cursing the government daily while you’re in your own office tweeting and enjoying your environment..
The day i decided to start using this app actively, I’ve made up my mind that many of you trolls don’t matter..I won’t pander to mobs as I didn’t build my brand on it..
I have other strings of income, don’t come under my post to act silly, I’ll send you home…
That said, May God bring succor to the family of the kids and teachers kidnapped in Oyo state..May they return home safely 🙏”
