“We Never Truly Support Our Own” – Ace Actress, Iyabo Ojo Reveals What It’s Truly Like In The Nigerian Film Industry


The Nigerian  entertainment industry might be filled with glitz and glam and heartwarming moments yet as the popular saying goes not all that glitters is gold.

According to ace Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Iyabo Ojo, the Nigerian film industry isn’t truly what it seems. The actress took to her Instagram to urge her fans not to be fooled by the make-belief friendship displayed in the industry, saying it is all about gossip, envy, backstabbing and backbiting.

In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, the mother of two expressed her feelings.

She wrote:

MY INDUSTRY, I JUST CAN’T COMPREHEND!!! Gossip, Envy, Faux, Backstabbing & Biting  the list goes on………….
..
…….. UNFORTUNATELY MEN ARE NOT LEFT OUT…. WHAT A SHAME!!! …….
….

We never truly support our own, we’re just friends when it suits. How well we’re perfect deceiving our fans…. that’s why we are ACTORS
……..

,,, Can I just hint y’all that we are just colleagues in some shit competition that no one understands, unfortunately not only two can play the game…. but hundreds can play the role.
But then, why can’t we all understand that we are all different, unique in different ways, aspiring to be more successful. …
..
Have you ever come to terms that fingers are never equal? Be grateful for what you have and stop seeking someone else’s downfall…. or is the character included in the script? ….
…..
..
.. Oh yes, we get along with some, yet we are mindful of our utterances because all they wanna know is your . Then we act for the gram where we seek validation for our not so real relationships …. problems starts when you refuse to let them into your business, you become a rival and a threat… boom, they start rewriting the script…… and when they’re done destroying you, they move to the next gullible victim….. Damn, we are professionals in this field… Trust me. …
…..
..
What about the motivational writers …. The script gets changed every seconds, at least to suit them….. The victim players… awon rumour mongers. Don’t be fooled……Watch, Learn, get entertained & move on.
…..
… We are all acting
….

.. 20 years of entertainment, different roles, same game…. Trust me when I say, the game is not for a leaner…. you gotta to be rooted. It’s unexplainable…
..

.. Don’t be fooled our industry is a make-believe world…. …
…Keep ur circle small & keep ur shit to urself ….
..if u know, u know
.Straight from d heart….
