Nollywood actress Bukunmi Oluwasina has sent a message to her colleagues as she shows support for upcoming actress Jumola Bello, who is attempting to break the Guinness World Record for longest acting on stage.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, Bukunmi expressed how heartbroken she was over her colleague’s lack of support for her as she noted how the lady reached out to a lot of them and they saw the viral video, but they snubbed her.
She stated that she doesn’t see any growth in a place where the only people they support, show up for or love are the ones they know they will need later. Bukunmi stated that it isn’t love and support but a complete emotional transaction. Oluwasina pondered on why they can’t love and support people who can’t do anything for them, too, once in a while.
She noted how if it was a celebrity doing such, it wouldn’t be like this. Urging them to show support, she told them not to watch people die before they show up for them.
“realojumolabello started a journey 5 days ago, attempting @guinnessworldrecords Longest Acting on stage. She hasn’t slept and is very exhausted. And based on what is said, she has reached out to a lot of us before and during this journey. It was her last day and she had even exceeded the acting hour, but only two colleagues showed up to show support.
And No, let’s not pretend we didn’t even know about it. We do. You do. A lot of public figures have been tagged. And again, let’s not say, “I don’t think I know her.” No, you do. 99% of those who have worked with @iteledicon01 know her; she is a fantastic Actor, writer, Continuity, and even Directs once in a while.
At least if you can’t show up, post. As much as I love to just stay and mind my business, I find it heartbreaking. I do not see any growth in a place where the only people we support, show up for, or show love are the only people we know we might need later. That’s not love. That’s not support. That’s a complete emotional transaction.
How about loving and supporting people who can’t do Anything for you, too, ONCE IN A WHILE? I know it’s a busy period, and a lot of people have things doing. But out of your busy days, you still show up for people that you will need later.
If it was a celebrity that attempted this, it wouldn’t be like this. This lady has been in the industry for years. If not b4 me self.
Please let’s show support. Please! Please!! Please!!!
It’s a bold step she is attempting. A win for one is a win for all.
Win or not, she is in a critical stage at the moment cos of the disappointment she got from her colleagues. Let’s not watch people die before we show up for them.
Please. Please”.
Also taking to his Instagram page, Jigan Babaoja showed support for her as he made it known that he doesn’t kiss anyone’s asses, hence why he isn’t friends with everybody in the industry.
“Oko mi na person wey send you to make you send! I no Dey kiss ass na why I’m not friends with everybody
@realojumolabello go and win”.
