Bukunmi Oluwasina, a Nollywood actress, has sent a message to her colleagues expressing her support for rising actress Jumola Bello, who is seeking to break the Guinness World Record for the longest acting on stage.
In a lengthy post on her Instagram page, Bukunmi revealed her heartbreak at her colleague’s lack of support for her, mentioning how the lady reached out to many of them after seeing the viral video, but they shunned her.
She stated that she does not see any progress in a situation in which the only people they support, show up for, or love are those they know they will need later.
Bukunmi claimed that it is not love and support, but rather a total emotional transaction. Oluwasina contemplated on why they can’t love and support people who can’t do anything for them, too, once in a while.
She noted how if it was a celebrity doing such, it wouldn’t be like this. Urging them to show support, she told them not to watch people die before they show up for them.
“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, let’s not say, “I don’t think I know her.” No, you do. 99% of those who have worked with @iteledicon01 know 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 the only people we know we might need later. That’s not love. That’s not support. That’s a complete emotional transaction.
How about loving and supporting people who can’t do Anything for you, too, ONCE IN A WHILE? I know it’s 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 wouldn’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. Let’s not watch people die before we show up for them.
Please. Please”.
