‘You are wicked,’ Biodun Okeowo calls out colleagues

Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo has called out her colleagues in the movie industry, claiming that they did not show support to her newest project.

The actress on her Instagram page expressed her disappointment, stating that she has shown support to other filmmakers and producers on multiple occasions. Okeowo lashed out at her colleagues, referring to them as wicked and selective when it comes to support.

“I have posted a lot of movies that I didn’t even feature in. Even though I have not produced any movie since 2013, I have been supporting people to the extent that I went to the DMs of producers to send their movies to me to promote. I have now produced my own movie (DECEMBER PARTY), but no one is supporting me. What is my offence to you all? Am I that bad? Only a few of my colleagues, whom I can count, supported me. It is when bad things happen to people that you post. You are wicked,” she stated.

Okeowo also expressed her appreciation to the few colleagues that extended support to her, stressing that she does not take them for granted. She urged others to endeavour to always support their colleagues, stating that growth is  a collective effort.

“Favour is selective and personal. What I am talking about is support, which is intentional, professional, and rooted in collective growth. We are useful to ourselves alive… then let’s support ourselves while we are still living. To everyone I asked for support and who supported me, both within the industry and beyond it, thank you. Your encouragement, shares, prayers, and love carried this journey. I do not take any of it for granted,” she added.
