Mr. Ibu Blasts Colleague For Begging Money From Pres. Jonathan

Popular Nollywood actor, John Okafor, (Mr. Ibu), has frowned at some of his colleagues who recieve money from goverment in the guise of using same for the benefit of the industry.

The comic actor also querried the motive behind the President of the Actors' Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima, taking some of their colleagues to President Goodluck Jonathan, a move which he said did not go down well with a majority of Nigerians and stakeholders in the movie industry.

The funny man said that his colleagues only went to Aso Rock to grab a piece of the national cake for their pockets alone and should stop telling Nigerians that they went there on behalf of actors and actresses in the country.

According to Mr. Ibu:

The government should stop giving Actors’ Guild cash, because we don’t know how to handle it. Some people will go to the office, process the money and squander it and we (actors) never benefit from such goodwill.
