With the 2015 general elections fast approaching us, we have witnessed a good number of physical, verbal, and social media abuse throw from one politician to the other. Interestingly, politicians aren’t the only one against at each other, our Nigerian entertainers who have clearly also pitched their tents with the two major political parties have also had cause to come for each other.
Ace movie director, Charles Novia, and Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola are the latest to oppose eachother via social media.
While Charles Novia has pitched his tent with President Goodluck Jonathan, Foluke Daramola is a supporter of the APC and by extension Gen. Muhammodu Buhari.
Charles Novia took to social media to make his thoughts about the present president known, he claimed that most entertainers are solidly behind GEJ,
“When artistes collectively endorse a person or join hands in the majority to support a cause, the Heavens listen and join. Those within the fold who leave the line make their choices and Freudian slips. They become tragic heroes or comic villains. I respect the choices the 1% on the other side of the divide have made but when it comes to GEJ, the entertainment sector is fully in the majority in support of him” stated Charles Novia.”
This claim of Charles Novia’s did not seem to go down well with the busty actress as she promptly voiced her disagreement,
“you are obviously wrong with that maybe that’s a figment of your imagination. You can’t make collective statement on behalf of everyone. On the contrary, many of us voluntarily support Buhari. In the time of OBJ we knew how he favoured artistes even without him giving us a dime but in GEJ’s time, all of us are being wooed by appointments, money and recognition in Aso Rock. A lot of us feel we need someone that would teach us how to fish, not one that would always give us fish. True value can never be bought with money. So, Mr Charles Novia don’t make collective statement because people like us that have values don’t take it lightly”
Charles who is known to always want the last word in every argument had a reply for his colleague,
“ Daramola, obviously you are part of the 1%. My points on the subject suffices. Is it an old man who has 150 cows as an asset who will teach you how to fish in his old age? Sorry o. Many of us will stick to the tested fisherman from Otueke who knows how to catch fish and can teach us too”
Fortunately for everyone, the much awaited election is only a few days away, this will no doubt put an end to all the drama.
