It is no longer news that Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade celebrated her 40th birthday with a 5-day event. The revered actress and entrepreneur has called on Nigerian youths to wake up. She added that young Nigerians should stop insulting celebrities on social media.
Omotola made this known in a chat with Broadway TV
“Stop getting angry with the Freezes of this world. They are not your problem, they are trying to help you. It might be wrong what he’s saying, you may not agree with what he’s saying, but you must agree with the spirit of which he is saying it. You need to wake up. You need to wake up Black people. You have to wake up and stop being trivial. And stop talking about whether I like this person, or I don’t like how he’s delivering it, or I don’t like his face.
“Young people wake up, don’t be on social media buying data to be insulting celebrities. Or to be following celebrities and knowing what they wore last night, that’s not your business. How many of these big labels anywhere are owned by Africans or Black people? Tomorrow you’re wearing Ferragamo, next tomorrow you’re wearing Gucci or you’re using your Facebook or Instagram or whatever. They’re all made by who?”
