Nigerian Yoruba Actor, Shoneye Olamilekan, expressed disappointment towards his fellow actors for their insincere display of affection following the passing of Murphy Afolabi, who died shortly after his birthday in May.
Shoneye took to Instagram to question his colleagues’ lack of acknowledgment of Murphy Afolabi’s legacy after his demise.
The actor, emphasizing that he doesn’t seek validation or attention on social media, criticized the Nollywood community for not promoting Murphy Afolabi’s work even after his tragic death.
He pointed out the irony of their abundant posts mourning Afolabi’s death while neglecting to share his projects, highlighting the importance of supporting his artistic endeavors without cost.
“I’m not the type that would come to social media to seek attention or validation, but I feel that the last respect we can give to Murphy Afolabi is reposting his movie for massive awareness! At least we all posted him on our page when his death cake to us was a shock, why not his movie? It costs us absolutely nothing. My take though.”
Recall that Murphy Afolabi died on Sunday, the 14th of May, 2023, after he reportedly slipped on bathroom tiles and hit his head on a hard surface.
Nollywood stars declared that Sunday as a Black day because the movie industry lost two actors. Murphy Afolabi’s death was mourned with dark images.
The actor’s death came as a shock to many because he recently marked his 49th birthday on the 5th of May. Seun Oloketuyi claimed the actor lost his life after slipping on bathroom tiles.
