The Yoruba entertainment industry has recently faced severe criticism from popular blogger Alubarika, who specifically targeted the President of TAMPAN (Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria) and other notable Yoruba celebrities. In the blogger’s scathing critique, they accuse these individuals of neglecting veteran actors and actresses during their times of need.
The focal point of Alubarika’s criticism revolves around a recent incident involving actress Iya Gbonkan, who publicly appealed for assistance in obtaining a car. The blogger highlights the subsequent intervention of Pastor Gabriel to provide support, drawing a sharp contrast to the apparent lack of assistance from Yoruba celebrities, including the President of TAMPAN.
Expressing deep disappointment, Alubarika argues that these veteran actresses, who have dedicated numerous decades to the industry, deserve recognition and support from their fellow colleagues.
Furthermore, the blogger emphasizes that without the timely intervention of Pastor Gabriel, actress Iya Ibeji Omo Arayele, another veteran in dire need, may have passed away. The blogger expresses gratitude to Pastor Gabriel for ensuring that the woman is still alive today.
