Tweeps react as Nollywood star goes nude for Tinubu

Several reactions have trailed the action of a veteran Nollywood star, Ebun Oloyede popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, who was filmed stark naked at a beach praying for the victory of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2023 election.

In a video which was posted by the movie star and has since gone viral, in what appears to be a campaign stunt for the APC, the thespian was seen praying to the gods of the sea in the Yoruba language pleading that they should ensure the victory of all APC candidates in the next election.

Part of his speech which was spoken in the Yoruba language stated, “Let him win the forthcoming election, get him to the post. I internationally came to the beach to beseech you (God), the most merciful. Let Tinubu’s vote be as much as the water of the ocean. Don’t put us (APC) to shame.”

Ever since the video made it round on the Nigerian digital space, people have taken to their various social media accounts to express their opinion.

Commenting on the video, a popular Lagos-based On-Air Personality and ace hypeman, Dotun, via his verified Twitter account noted that he was disgusted by the action of the veteran actor. He described Olaiya Igwe’s action as ‘lower than low’.

He tweeted, “The video of Olaiya Igwe going butt naked is despicable and disgusting. It’s okay to support whoever you choose but even to the person you are doing that for, they will be appalled by that level of filth.. your maturity should have a place in history. This is lower low.” (sic)

A Twitter user, @IamDukeilorin. while giving his two cents on the situation simply wrote, ” I can’t just stop laughing. Allow me to laugh abeg. Nobody said Olaiya Igwe shouldn’t pray for whoever he wishes to pray for, but it’s a disgusting act to make a naked video of your shapeless body and posting it online for all to see.”(sic).

Meanwhile, some Nigerians also seized the opportunity to pray for the veteran actor. For instance, Olúyẹmí Fásípè AICMC, with the Twitter handle, @YemieFash, wrote, “My thought and prayers are with Olaiya Igwe, whatever happened to him is pitiful. May God restore him.”(sic)

 

Also, another user of the microblogging site, Adenekan Mayowa, with the handle @Mayorspeaks, while expressing his displeasure tweeted, “The same Olaiya Igwe that we grew up to respect has reduced himself to ridicule, God bless help us to be very financially stable in our years of retirement.”
