Nollywood actress Chinelo Rita, popularly known as Chinelo Nwaa, has taken to social media to express her disappointment with colleague Ruby Ojiakor, accusing her of displaying “fake love” during a personal tragedy.
In a candid post shared via her Instagram story, Chinelo called out the irony in how Ruby quickly reached out to invite her to her wedding and even asked her to purchase wedding clothes, yet failed to offer a word of condolence when she lost her younger sister.
“Learn to Reciprocate the Energy People Give You”
Chinelo lamented the lack of empathy in the entertainment industry, warning her colleagues against selfish and one-sided relationships. She noted that while she’s known for showing up and standing by others—whether they are right or wrong—very few do the same for her.
“Una think say to go wedding na small money? Learn to reciprocate the energy people give you. People wey dey give me love, know I can move mountains for them. Right or wrong. That’s who I am,” she wrote.
She continued by highlighting how easily Ruby made demands when it suited her, yet she failed to show basic compassion during a time of loss.
“Nothing dey this life, absolutely. Not for clout, but you see the fake love in this industry is alarming. That’s why nobody should come to my DM. Y’all pray with God’s name, but when it’s time to show true Christianity, una no dey do am.”
Chinelo didn’t mince words, ending her post with a blunt warning:
“Wicked souls. I’m very blunt. Soon na long rosary una go carry.”
A Glimpse into the Dark Side of Nollywood
This outburst sheds light on the often-unspoken emotional politics within Nollywood, where relationships can sometimes be transactional and compassion may be conditional.
Chinelo’s grief-filled post resonates with many who have questioned the authenticity of friendships and support systems in the entertainment industry.
