Nollywood actress Actress Bukunmi Oluwasina has written a letter to her colleagues in support of up-and-coming star Jumola Bello, who is aiming to shatter the record for the longest acting on stage in the world.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, Bukunmi expressed how heartbroken she was over her colleagueâs 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 doesnât 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 isnât love and support but a complete emotional transaction. Oluwasina pondered on why they canât love and support people who canât do anything for them, too, once in a while.
She noted how if it was a celebrity doing such, it wouldnât be like this. Urging them to show support, she told them not to watch people die before they show up for them.
She wrote: @realojumolabello started a journey 5 days ago, attempting @guinnessworldrecords Longest Acting on stage. She hasnât 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, letâs not pretend we didnât even know about it. We do. You do. A lot of public figures have been tagged. And again lets not say âI donât think I know herâ No, you do. 99% of those who have worked with @iteledicon01 knows her, she is a fantastic Actor, writer, Continuity and even Directs once in a while.
At least if you canât 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 only people we know we might be needing later. Thatâs not love. Thatâs not support. Thatâs complete emotional transaction.
How about loving and supporting people who canât do Anything for you too ONCE IN A WHILE. I know its 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 wonât be like this. This lady has been in the industry for years. If not b4 me self.
Please letâs show support. Please! Please!! Please!!!
Itâs 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. Lets not watch people die before we show up for them.
Please. Please đđ
