Renowned blogger Alubarika has recently delivered a thought-provoking critique of the Yoruba entertainment industry, specifically directing their attention towards the President of TAMPAN (Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria) and other influential Yoruba celebrities. Alubarika boldly accuses them of failing to extend support and assistance to veteran actors and actresses during their times of need.
The focus of Alubarika’s criticism revolves around a recent incident involving actress Iya Gbonkan, who publicly appealed for assistance in acquiring a car. The blogger highlights the subsequent intervention of Pastor Gabriel, who stepped in to provide the necessary support. This gesture is placed in stark contrast to the perceived lack of response from Yoruba celebrities, including the President of TAMPAN.
Expressing deep disappointment, Alubarika argues that these veteran actresses, who have dedicated numerous decades to the industry, deserve recognition and support from their fellow colleagues. The blogger emphasizes the importance of unity and solidarity within the industry, particularly in times when assistance is urgently required by those who have contributed significantly to the Yoruba entertainment landscape.
Furthermore, Alubarika highlights the intervention of Pastor Gabriel, underscoring how his timely assistance has saved the life of another veteran actress, Iya Ibeji Omo Arayele. The blogger expresses gratitude towards Pastor Gabriel for his compassionate efforts in ensuring that this esteemed actress is still with us today.
Alubarika’s critique serves as a reminder to the Yoruba entertainment industry and its prominent figures to prioritize and uplift their fellow artists, especially those who have devoted their lives to the profession. The call for support and recognition of veteran actors and actresses echoes the importance of fostering a community that embraces solidarity, compassion, and a commitment to the well-being of its members.
