- Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has criticized her colleagues for constantly trying to imitate her.
Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has called out her colleagues in the film industry, accusing them of envy and constantly trying to copy her style.
In a lengthy Instagram story post, the actress expressed frustration over the increasing negativity she claims to be facing within the industry. She alleged that some individuals pretend to befriend her while harboring hidden agendas.
She wrote: “If it wasn’t for God na so my enemies for don take kpai me. The kind things wey dey sup for this industry na only God dey save me, cos I have tried to process it, this whole hate, what is it all about? Reasons I run from most people who extend hand of friendships, nobody to trust, because some of these people don’t even like me but what to be friends with me so bad. Una wan poison me?
The hate is too much now.
Take a look at some of them, they wanna be me so bad, like there’s nothing wrong with people copying your style. The scary part is wanting to take the person out of the surface of the earth is wickedness”.
In other news, Veteran musician and activist Charles Oputa, widely known as Charly Boy, has stirred fresh controversy following his remarks about Lagos being “no man’s land.”
The statement came shortly after the Bariga Local Council Development Area changed the name of the popular Charly Boy Bus Stop to “Olamide Baddo,” honoring award-winning rapper Olamide Adedeji.
Expressing his displeasure over the renaming, Charly Boy compared Lagos to New York City, insisting that the bustling commercial center should be open to all Nigerians rather than tied to any single ethnic group.
His opinion, however, drew sharp criticism from Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Reacting via X (formerly Twitter), Olayinka rejected Charly Boy’s claim and threw a bold challenge at the activist:
“Ndi Lagos is no man’s land. When next the seat of the Oba of Lagos becomes vacant after the current Oba lives long enough go and contest for it.”
Olayinka went further, listing prominent traditional stools in the state, including those of the Osolo of Isolo, Oniru, Elegushi, and Oloto, daring Charly Boy to attempt to claim any of them if he truly believed Lagos belonged to no one.
He concluded his post with a sarcastic remark that many online users interpreted as a direct and scathing rebuttal:
“Sebi all these Traditional Titles are in your language, not Yoruba.”
