Nollywood actress Biodun Okeowo popularly known as Omoborty has spoken out against certain behaviours she finds troubling in the movie industry, especially among actors who fail to support film promotions after featuring in them.
Naija News reports that in a message shared on her Instagram page Okeowo expressed anger at actors who appear in movies but refuse to support producers when it is time to promote the project.
She described such actions as wrong and unfair, saying it shows a lack of care for the effort and resources invested in making the film.
The actress also talked about another group of colleagues she said are unwilling to support others in the industry.
According to her, some actors rarely promote other people’s work, even when it costs them nothing.
She said she has personally promoted many movies she did not act in because she believes helping others grow is important.
Okeowo explained that progress in the industry should inspire people, not make them feel insecure or angry.
She warned that seeing another person’s success as a threat only creates division and slows down collective growth.
She went on to thank those who have shown her genuine support, including those who helped without being asked.
She encouraged everyone in the industry to drop envy and hatred, reminding them that there is enough space for everyone to succeed if they work together.
Reports indicate that Mr Ofori-Atta is currently being held at the Caroline Detention Facility in Virginia, a centre operated by ICE. The facility, formerly known as the Peumansend Creek Regional Jail, was repurposed into an immigration detention centre following its closure in 2017.
It operates under a five-year agreement between Caroline County and the United States Department of Homeland Security for the detention and care of administrative detainees.
Detainees are assigned to units based on a classification system determined by immigration and criminal history. Officials categorise individuals into levels ranging from low to high custody, with those deemed higher risk or with criminal records held under stricter conditions.
