beasts of nollywood

There was a time when people were ashamed. Society was no joke with its mores, and literature reflected that. Do you remember these lines from a folk song: "Eni ba ti jale lerekan, to ba daran b'ori, aso ole lo da bo'ra"? (He who stole once/Even if he covers his head with aran cloth/It is the garment of a robbery.) Nowadays, the ancient thieves occupy not only the governor's residence, but are actually the only ones with a realistic path to power. And that's why Ebun Oloyede, A-list actor affectionately nicknamed Olaiya Igwe, is making headlines for sacrificing all that is good to worship on the altar of politics: he made a video beachside in his birthday suit, seeking the divine endorsement of the presidential aspiration of All Progressives Congressional (APC) candidate Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Speaking on Continental Television's Your View show last Monday, Oloyede attempted to associate his nudity with divinity. He claimed to have "a gift of revelation from Almighty God" which gives him prophetic powers. Listen to him: “I was sleeping that day, and a voice came to me and said to me: get up, please. You said you liked Asiwaju, and he helped you. Rise. Go and do this, this and this for him. I am an artist but a bit of a politician. But professionally, I am an artist. So I said ok, as an artist I can do it."

It is unthinkable for a man over 60 to throw away his history, his legacy, his legacy, his last name and his honor, assuming he ever had any, other than because of whoever let alone a presidential candidate with a history of drug dealing. At his age, Olaiya definitely has children of marriageable age, and it's tragic that he didn't realize that any woman dating his son would be taunted by his buddies with the shameless video he made in s addressing water demons. Olaiya, blinded by his desire to beg, said he could do anything to support Mr. Tinubu's candidacy, as long as he believed it did not negatively affect others! But here is what an enemy of his future daughter-in-law would say to him during a quarrel: “Stupid girl, crazy woman! Isn't that your stepdad thing the whole world saw on video? Idiot!" As the Yoruba say, it is family members who may call such nonsense amodi (mild disease); outsiders would say it was (pure madness).

Are these celebrities crazy, literally crazy, or what else would make someone publicly humiliate their generation like Olaiya Igwe did last week? He's the same shameless old jester who recently rolled on the floor in worship of a 47-year-old car park boss called MC Oluomo, trampling on Yoruba culture over a car giveaway! Ah, this country no longer exists! Such men can do anything for money. All it takes is a whisper of the same demons that encourage buffoonery that the God who clothed men would respond to them more quickly if they completely undressed! They're dressed up lunatics and as I've said many times, it's not just that these so-called celebrities make movies that erode our cultural values; they also mislead a lot of people with their ugly lifestyles and statements, which brings me to the next theater practitioner on my list, Angela Eguavoen.

We don't need to bother with the moron who recently claimed that a 10 million naira wedding is only for the poor in a country where the minimum wage is 30,000 naira. Listen to Miss Eguavoen: “Women don't even need men to please them. There are even faster and smoother gadgets than men… Why would a broke man even date a woman? Men should be responsible for their partners' bills if they want women to respect them. Well, it's a terrible thing to open your mouth just because you have one. So women are leeches who depend on men for everything? Ms. Angela apparently has vast experiences with men and gadgets, but let's remind her that gadgets can have no mercy and will make her wider than the Atlantic, and therefore useless to the sons of men. Also, Angela should know that sex toys are also available for men who choose to go this route.

I guess Mrs. Angela will get pregnant through gadgets. Gadgets are all the rage now, and didn't a woman claim that a doll cheated on her the other day? Ruined by gadgets, these brutes who call themselves women can no longer enjoy sex with men. Their empty heads buried under a forest of wigs, they think they are superior to all the others. Will the gadgets keep Angela warm now that the December chill is heating up? It is these celebrities who are destroying young women, turning them into insatiable sex demons, drug mules and vectors of disease. Do you see now why they never keep a house? Only a third-hand woman with a reprobate mind would elevate gadgets above men made in the image of God!
