Read Time:2 Minute, 2 Second
Nollywood actor Sylvester Madu, better known by his stage name Shina Rambo, has denied rumors that he sells used clothing, or “okrika,” after a video went viral that showed him selling clothing on the floor of an Enugu market.
In a recent interview, Madu clarified that the clothing was brand-new imports from the United States rather than used items as many had assumed.
He also stated that he owns several stores and employs a number of workers to run them, but he also likes being involved in the sales process.
Madu added that he has been in the clothing business for over 30 years and has many people selling on his behalf across different locations.
Madu said: “First of all, I don’t sell okrika. Those clothes I was filmed selling are not necessarily okrika because they were on the floor. I don’t sell okrika. I import from I sell from the U.S.
“I have multiple shops, and I have boys who sell for me. I don’t do big man, I go to the field to sell by myself. I have a lot of people selling for me. I have different shops. I monitor my business. I have been doing this business for over 30 years”.
In contrast, Madu, in 2023, admitted to selling okrika just to fend for his family.
He hailed every male parent striving to ensure they left an inheritance for their children, referencing the Bible’s verdict on the matter.
Madu said, “Hello, guys! It’s still Father’s Day. My name is Sylvester Madu, and I’m here to wish all the fathers in this whole wide world, Happy Father’s Day.
“You see that video, that man in that video, that’s the epitome of a father who is working hard for his children’s future.
“Yes, that man you see out there, he’s in the cold, he’s wearing that jacket, not feeling too well. But he still has to come out to do something legitimate for his children’s future. And that’s what I’m doing.
“So, for all you fathers out there, working as hard as that man, doing something good for your children’s future, you’re a strong man. And I say Happy Father’s Day to you.
“And like the bible says, a good man leaves an inheritance for his children’s children. God bless you all, chao!”
