Read Time:2 Minute, 19 Second

Nollywood actress, Bukunmi Oluwasina, has taken aim at her peers for not endorsing Jumola Bello’s attempt to shatter the record for the longest acting on stage.

Oluwasina lamented the lack of support in the sector in an Instagram post, pointing out that colleagues only back people who will eventually help them.

She urged them to show support, even through social media posts, emphasising that “a win for one is a win for all.”

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, 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”.

Also reacting, actor Jigan Babaoja, also showing support, stated that he doesn’t “kiss ass” while encouraging Bello to go and win.

“Oko mi na person wey send you to make you send! I no Dey kiss ass na why I’m not friends with everybody
@realojumolabello go and win”, he wrote.
