Iya Gbonkan’s Plea Ignored: Alubarika Criticizes Yoruba Celebrities for Neglecting Veteran Actors
In a scathing critique of the Yoruba entertainment industry, popular blogger Alubarika has expressed strong disapproval towards the President of TAMPAN (Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria) and other Yoruba celebrities. They stand accused of allegedly neglecting veteran actors and actresses during their times of need.
Alubarika specifically highlighted a recent incident involving actress Iya Gbonkan, who made a plea for a car, only to receive support from Pastor Gabriel. Expressing deep disappointment, Alubarika pointed out the lack of assistance provided by Yoruba celebrities, including the TAMPAN President, when Iya Gbonkan reached out for help.
The blogger argued that veteran actresses, who have devoted decades of their lives to the industry, deserve recognition and support from their colleagues.
Moreover, Alubarika emphasized the crucial role played by Pastor Gabriel in saving the life of another veteran actress, Iya Ibeji Omo Arayele, through his timely assistance. The blogger suggests that without his intervention, the actress may not have survived.
