Nollywood actress, Nkechi Blessing, has warned her followers to desist from buying fake followers just because she promised them 500,000 giveaway once she gets to 500,000 followers on her new Instagram page.
Nkechi Blessing posted a video where she took out her time to unfollow most fake followers which has crowded her page.
She captioned the post, “Because I said if I reach 500k followers I will do 500k naira giveaway..From nowhere my followers Dey increase..pls who ever you are buying followers for me I beg you in the name of GOD STOP right now,which kind rubbish is this? I am growing my page slowly I no Dey rush,,I DO NOT need fake followers Abeg,never have I ever bought followers..no let Thunder strike you Abeg..I am not interested.”
Recall that Nkechi Blessing had defended her colleagues who are finding their ways into the Nigerian political terrain.
In a video making rounds on the internet, Blessing tagged those mocking her colleagues for joining politics as hypocrites.
According to her, whenever a tragedy happens in any part of the country, Nigerians usually call on celebrities to lend their voices to the situation.
She said that although celebrities are no longer merely lending their voices but also getting active in politics, many Nigerians are mocking them for the move.
The actress said, “Some of you Nigerians are hypocrites. If anything goes wrong in the country, maybe it is a case of kidnap or killing, you all will be clamouring, ‘where is our celebrities?’, ‘they are not talking now’, ‘they’ve paid them,’ blah blah blah.
“But now these celebrities you people call all the time to come to your rescue. They’re are not only lending their voices, they’re also getting involved. Then you guys changed the story. ‘Eh, do you think this is Nollywood?’, ‘Is this a joke to you?’, ‘Is politics a joke to you?’
“What exactly do you people want? You that you can use your own voice, your own hand and speak to the government to listen to you, you’re not coming out to participate in any of the political activities going on in Nigeria. The celebrities you’ve been calling for years are now getting involved, and you’re making it a joke.”
The actress further stated that she is “super proud” of her colleagues joining politics, especially women contesting as deputy governors.
She said, “I am super proud of every celebrity out there, especially the females coming out to be deputy governors because they want to tackle the problem from where you think it pains.
“Forget the fact that they are entertainers. All of the people that are coming out, the likes of aunty Funke Akindele, Tonto Dikeh, and Caroline. These people are educated.
“They are respected people in their society. The same people that have been calling them over the years are now saying, ‘shey you think say na Nollywood we dey do for here?’”
With the upcoming 2023 elections, several Nollywood entertainers have thrown in their hats for various political positions.
