The Nigerian social media space was literally on fire on Tuesday night after some Nigerian users decided to call out popular Nollywood actors and celebrities who openly showed their support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its then presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, during electioneering campaign for the 2023 elections.
With the turn of things coupled with the hardship Nigerians are going through, the Netizens are now blaming the celebrities for expressing their political affiliations.
Nollywood actors and celebrities like Zack Orji, Desmond Elliot, Yul Edochie, Toyin Abraham, Eniola Badmus, E-Money, Obi Cubana, Seyi Law and Igwe Olaiya, amongst others have been in the line of fire as the social media users accuse them of greed and collecting money from Tinubu and the APC.
Setting the ball rolling was an X user, @VictorIsrael, who wrote:“I love how Nigerians are pressing the neck of people in the entertainment industry who supported Tinubu out of greed
“Toyin Abraham don collectEniola Badmus don collectZack Orji don collectYul Edochie don collect.
“Ogun bend Seyi Law Neck. Reno Mockery cucuma be fuul forever.
“He thinks we may have forgotten but GOD PUNISH DESMOND📌

@RealFejiro: “A prayer for Zack Orji, Eniola Badmus, Yul Edochie & Toyin Abraham.
“Hark! Ye, whom once revered by the masses, now fallen to darkness. Four who didst bow to tyranny’s might and spake in favor of vile deeds.
“May thy days be shrouded in sorrow, and fortune turn her back on thee.
“As serpents whisper treachery in thine ears, so shall trust forsake thee.
“From this hour forth, let the light of favor wane from thy countenance.
“May thy name be uttered with disdain, and thy works be forgotten by time.Let thine every endeavor be met with misfortune; And may sleepless nights torment thee with the echoes of thy betrayal.
“May the heavens deny thee their grace, and the earth reject thy steps; As the seasons change, so shall thy fortune wither,And may all who conspired with thee find their legacies tarnished and undone.
“Thus I speak, and thus it shall be. End.”
A prayer for Zack Orji, Eniola Badmus, Yul Edochie & Toyin Abraham.
