Movie actress Actress Bukunmi Oluwasina has written a letter to her colleagues in support of fast-rising star actress Ojumola Bello, who is aiming to break the record for the longest acting on stage in the Guinness World Records.
Bukunmi wrote a lengthy post on her Instagram page detailing how devastated she was by her colleague’s lack of support, pointing out that the woman had sought out to many of them after seeing the viral video, yet they turned down her.
She went on to say that she didn’t see any progress in a world where the only people they loved, cared for, or supported were the ones they knew they would eventually need. And she said that it is a full emotional exchange rather than love and support. Oluwasina wondered occasionally why they couldn’t love and support those who couldn’t do anything for them.
She did, however, observe that things wouldn’t be this way if a celebrity were involved. She urged them to be supportive and reminded them not to wait for others to pass away before coming through for them.
She wrote: @realojumolabello started a journey 5 days ago, attempting @guinnessworldrecords Longest Acting on stage. She hasn’t slept and is very exhausted. And based on what is said, she has reached out to a lot of us before and during this journey. It was her last day and she had even exceeded the acting hour, but only two colleagues showed up to show support.
And No, let’s not pretend we didn’t even know about it. We do. You do. A lot of public figures have been tagged. And again lets not say “I don’t think I know her” No, you do. 99% of those who have worked with @iteledicon01 knows her, she is a fantastic Actor, writer, Continuity and even Directs once in a while.
At least if you can’t show up, post. As much as i love to just stay and mind my business, I find it heartbreaking. I do not see any growth in a place where the only people we support, show up for or show love are only people we know we might be needing later. That’s not love. That’s not support. That’s complete emotional transaction.
How about loving and supporting people who can’t do Anything for you too ONCE IN A WHILE. I know its a busy period and a lot of people have things doing. But out of your busy days you still show up for people that you will need later.
If it was a celebrity that attempted this, it won’t be like this. This lady has been in the industry for years. If not b4 me self.
Please let’s show support. Please! Please!! Please!!!
It’s a bold step she is attempting. A win for one is a win for all.
Win or not, she is in a critical stage at the moment cos of the disappointment she got from her colleagues. Lets not watch people die before we show up for them.
Please. Please 🙏🙏
