“You want us to suspend our jobs and be talking of insecurity? –Actress Dayo Amusa Puzzles Critics

Nollywood actress, Dayo Amusa has spoken out against what she called rising online bullying against people in the creative industry.

The actress took to her 𝕏 page to speak on how she is saddened by the treatment that actors and other entertainers get anytime they post their thoughts or promote their work on the internet.

She reportedly said that many people in the industry are often attacked and labeled insensitive for posting about their projects during difficult periods in the country.

Amusa said movie-making was a major financial undertaking, with loans taken out at high interest rates.

She says it is not fair to expect filmmakers to stop their work and only speak about issues such as insecurity and government policies on social media.

The actress also made it clear that she will not have online trolls telling her how to use her platform.

Long ago, she said, she decided not to build her brand around pleasing online crowds. She added that critics’ negative comments will not affect her.

She wrote, “I woke up today with a very heart…Crazy the bullying a lot of you give to our colleagues in the creative industry…

“They can’t freely express 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..

“Ever since i decided to start using this app actively i made up my mind that many of you trolls don’t matter..I don’t pander to mobs Like I didn’t build my brand on it..

I have other sources of income, don’t come under my post to act like a fool, I will send you home…

That said, May God bring succour to the family of the kids and teachers kidnapped in Oyo state..May they get home safely 🙏.”
