Popular Nollywood actress, Bukunmi Oluwasina, has responded to actor, Sylvester Madu’s video selling Okrika.
A Nigerian man with the TikTok username @ejimaa came across the actor while browsing through a bale of clothes in the market and shot a video of him to share on the popular video-sharing platform.
In the viral clip, the 48-year-old movie star, known for playing tough characters in films, can be seen arranging and selling his wares to the people.
The video has since gone viral on the internet, drawing mixed reactions from social media users, with some saying that the actor was shooting a movie in the market, while others claimed that there is nothing wrong with the actor having a legitimate part-time job outside of acting.
In response to the trending video, Bukunmi Oluwasina said that the business Sylvester Madu is doing is way better than begging or stealing.
In her words;
“You all have so normalized the fake lives some celebs live on social media that you no longer see the pride and dignity in those who don’t join the trend but rather, choose to be themselves and do whatever they can to provide for their family.
He is actually better than some of your role models, who borrow designers to take pix and post online, only to return them to the stores they bought them from or their owners. And shame on those recording him without his consent and those posting. At least he isn’t begging or stealing.
He could even be on set. live and let others live.”
