Nollywood actress, Biodun Okeowo, a.k.a Omoborty, has responded to a social media troll who blasted her for publicly highlighting the struggles of veteran actress, Jumoke George. Recall that Biodun had shared a clip to support Jumoke during her trying time, hoping to draw attention to her tragic situation and possibly raise funds for her.
However, a troll slammed the actress for making the matter public when she could’ve just assisted the veteran privately.
“Y’all Nollywood actors and actresses are stingy. Why do you have to bring this woman to the public because she’s homeless?
You dey America, you have a rich husband, you could easily tell your husband to help her or contact your colleagues to help the woman so you people can cover the shame but hell no, una must come and beg the public for money to help your colleagues, but if to say nah Aso ebi 500k, una wan buy, una dey always see money for that,” the troll wrote.
Reacting, Biodun immediately slammed the troll in return, stating that critics are only bitter because they don’t know what empathy really means.
According to her, when urgent help is needed for a celebrity, it is only right to speak out and share it online, since that is a quick route to get the support required to ease the situation.
Omoborty concluded by saying that if helping a senior colleague publicly can save a life, she will not hesitate to do it, and anyone who has a problem with that has a heart filled with hate.
“Some unfortunate people on this app think like roaches!
This is why some of you will never understand empathy: Your heart is locked in bitterness. @possiblecashie and the senseless ones who liked your comment and concurred, you all clearly lack sense and empathy.
You’re busy counting people’s husbands and outfits instead of counting your own missing blessings. If helping a senior colleague publicly can save a life, let it be!
When you become a human being with sense, you’ll understand that some issues are bigger than your pocket mentality. If you had half a brain, you’d know that going public is sometimes the fastest way to get urgent help.
But no, you’d rather stay bitter and type essays about people’s personal lives while doing zero for your own community.
Focus on your life, and stop analyzing what’s above your emotional pay grade,” she added.
