That Olaiya Igwe video hit me bad sha. It’s as if it’s my Dad. It hit me bad bcos I remember watching Olaiya as a kid from Ìrù Ešïn to Ti oluwa nile and hundreds of movies he’s done. So painful to see despite all those decades of hard work, he’s going naked for politics.

Nobody said Olaiya Igwe shouldn’t pray for whoever he wishes to pray for, but it’s a disgusting act making a naked video of your shapeless body and posting it online for all to see. This is so low coming from Nollywood.

Waking up to an old man's butt on social media was not how I planned to start my day.
Olaiya Igwe's shameful video is an example of what can money can make people do.

It would be recalled that earlier in the year, the media sector was awash with reports of Olaiya praising Tinubu’s generosity.
In the video, Olaiya who spoke in Yoruba Language said, “Let Tinubu win the forthcoming election, get him to the post. I internationally came to the beach to plead with you (God), the most merciful. Let Tinubu’s vote be as much as the water of the ocean. Don’t put us (APC) to shame.”
