Actors flaunting wealth on Instagram are misleading young ones - Dele Odule

- Veteran actor, Dele Odule recently spoke against actors who flaunt their wealth on Instagram

- In a recent interview, he stated that those who flaunt their wealth on social media are misleading the younger generations

- He added that some actors who worship their material wealth have no business being in the industry

Veteran actor, Dele Odule has shared his two cents about actors who flaunt their material wealth on social media. In a recent interview, the middle-aged actor stated that actors who flaunt their material wealth on Instagram are misleading the younger generations.

He added that actors who attach so much to material wealth have no business being in the industry and are not in the business because they have a passion for it but rather are searching for ways to make ends meet.

When asked about such actors, he said: "People like that are not in the business because they have passion for it. They are just looking for where to make ends meet. A trained actor will never run after material wealth. I am not saying that acting cannot open doors; it actually does.

However, a true actor will take material things as secondary; the priority is to get your message across to the viewers. The problem we are facing is that the industry is not sanitised. If there was a standard, many of those people you see who are all about flaunting material things on social media wouldn’t be in the industry.

What is the essence of going on social media to flaunt cars and other items? You would see many actresses dancing around on social media; even when they get pregnant, they flaunt it. Buying a car shouldn’t be a big deal but they make it seem as if it is.”

Speaking on the effect of such lifestyle, Odule, added that the behaviour of flaunting personal possessions is corrupting the younger generations who are gradually developing a negative impression about the industry.

"They are passing a wrong message to the young ones out there who will have a warped impression of the industry” he said.

In what appears to be a shade at some actors who follow politicians for monetary gains, Dele said: "Somebody who is serious-minded and creative would not run after any politician. That is not to say that actors don’t have the constitutional right to follow whoever they like."

Meanwhile, Yoruba actor, Gbega Akintunde popularly known as Burger, has passed on. According to actor, Kunle Afod who broke the news, Burger died after complaining of malaria.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
