- Olaiya Igwe, a die-hard supporter of MC Oluomo, unleashed his wrath upon his fellow actors at a public gathering in Ibadan.
- The actor, clearly seething with rage, didn’t hold back as he called out his colleagues, accusing them of biting the hand that fed them, betraying their benefactor, MC Oluomo, with their disloyalty
Olaiya Igwe, a revered veteran of Nollywood, was recently caught in a tempest of rage, unleashing a fiery tirade against his colleagues for what he perceived as a blatant betrayal of the NURTW chieftain, Musiliu Akinsanya, better known as MC Oluomo.
In a viral video capturing the electrifying atmosphere, nearly every A-list Yoruba Nollywood star gathered in Ibadan for the grand 70th and 80th birthday celebrations of Peju Ajoboye’s parents. The event, meant to be a joyous occasion, quickly turned tense.
MC Oluomo, ever the stalwart supporter of Yoruba cinema, graced the event with his presence, reinforcing his unwavering loyalty to the movie stars who had often benefitted from his patronage. Yet, beneath the festive veneer, whispers of dissent had been circulating.
It was reported that several actors had failed to show up and support MC Oluomo’s latest venture, a project he had hoped would further cement his bond with the entertainment industry. This absence, deemed a slight by the chieftain, had not gone unnoticed.
In an attempt to smooth over the growing rift, a gesture of reconciliation was proposed: the accused stars were invited to step forward and offer a unified apology to MC Oluomo. However, the moment of redemption turned into one of defiance as some, still nursing their grievances or perhaps too proud to admit fault, refused to emerge from the crowd.
The air grew thick with tension, and it was in this charged atmosphere that Olaiya Igwe decided to make his stand.
Seizing the microphone with the authority of a man who has seen it all, Olaiya, flanked by prominent faces from Yoruba cinema, launched into a passionate rebuke.
His voice, laced with anger and disappointment, echoed through the venue as he condemned his colleagues for their perceived treachery.
He lambasted them for biting the hand that had fed them, for turning their backs on a man who had done nothing but support their careers. With each word, his fury mounted, accusing those who refused to apologize of arrogance and ingratitude.
