Bobrisky: ‘Nigeria Has Become Dumping Ground For A Lot Of Things’ – Foluke Daramola
Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola-Salako has voiced concerns about Nigeria becoming a dumping ground due to economic challenges and the erosion of traditional values. Here’s a summary of her remarks:……
Value System Decline: Daramola expressed sadness over the deterioration of Nigeria’s value system, attributing it to the government’s inaction. She lamented that what was once considered abnormal has now become normalized, leading to a loss of genuine love and societal cohesion.
Struggles of Young Stars: The actress highlighted the challenges faced by young Nigerians, especially in the creative industry, where brilliant ideas are often overlooked or stolen by the government. She emphasized the need for self-reliance among youth due to the lack of support from the government, leading many to excel only after leaving the country.
Controversial Award: Daramola addressed the recent controversy surrounding her colleague Eniola Ajao’s decision to award controversial crossdresser Bobrisky the ‘best dressed female’ award at the premiere of her movie. She defended Ajao, stating that she single-handedly financed the movie and had to bear the burden of production and marketing, unlike in other countries where artists receive more support.
Daramola’s comments shed light on the broader issues facing Nigeria, including economic challenges, government neglect, and the erosion of traditional values, which she believes contribute to the country’s status as a dumping ground for various societal issues.
