Reality TV star, Gifty Powers has lambasted Nollywood actors for failing to crowdfund for their embattled colleague, Hanks Anuku, despite flaunting lavish lifestyles on social media.
Gifty lampooned Nollywood celebrities for failing to support Hanks Anuku in his period of trial and tribulation.
This comes weeks after Hanks was spotted in a viral video roaming the streets barefoot, looking tattered and battered.
While his colleague, Shan George, said the disturbing clip is from a movie set, some others claim Hanks Anuku is mentally unstable.
Hanks himself has also come out to debunk the viral video, stating that the video is from a movie he’s featured in. He also warned people to stop speaking ill of him.
Well, Gifty, a former Big Brother Naija housemate, has taken to her Instastory to lampoon Nollywood celebrities for failing to support Hanks Anuku in his period of trial and tribulation.
She wrote,
“It’s funny how the so-called celebrities post their luxuries on their page, yet they can’t afford to contribute something on behalf of Hanks Anuku.
The so-called multi-billionaire daughters and fathers, the ones married to upcoming politicians, the actresses who sleep with politicians, the actors who do the yahoo, the singers, the musicians… It’s a shame y’all can’t come out to support a colleague who is running madly on the streets.
Well, it’s the world we live in. People sacrifice their souls just to show off on social media and make the youngsters feel that their effort has been for nothing and after hanging their dirty undies outside, they come on their page and write “with God all things are possible”, “small girl big God”, “we thank God for it all” as their caption..
Na thunder goes fire all of una. Fools in the ’30s, 40s, etc.”
In other news, Lawal, while being paraded, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos said that he resorted to the criminal trade to raise money to pay his daughter’s SS3 examination fee.
A 56-year-old man, Lawal Oyenuga, has been arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for drug trafficking.
The agency’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, said in a statement on Sunday that Lawal, who was headed to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, via Addis Ababa on an Ethiopian Airways flight, was arrested on Thursday, November 24, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos, along with his recruiter, Wasiu Sanni Gbolahan, a.k.a. “Teacher”.
Lawal had concealed 400g of cocaine in a pair of black palm sandals in this luggage, which was detected to contain illicit drugs.
Lawal’s recruiter, Teacher, revealed that he was first given some pellets of cocaine to swallow, but when he couldn’t, he was given the ones concealed in the sandals.
Lawal, while being paraded, said that he resorted to the criminal trade to raise money to pay his daughter’s SS3 examination fee.
The NDLEA linked Wasiu to some previous attempts to traffic cocaine to Saudi Arabia and Dubai, UAE. He was named as the one who recruited a BRT driver, Bolajoko Muyiwa Babalola, for Lagos socialite and owner of Adekaz Hotels, Alhaji Ademola Afolabi Kazeem (a.k.a. Alhaji Abdallah Kazeem Muhammad), to traffic drugs to Dubai.
Bolajoko was arrested on June 27 with 900 grams of cocaine en route to Dubai, while Ademola Kazeem was nabbed on November 10, barely 10 days after he was declared wanted by the NDLEA.
A follow-up operation in the early hours of Friday, November 25, led to the arrest of the kingpin, Teacher, who specializes in recruiting mules for drug barons in Lagos and its environs, at his residence located in the Ikorodu area of Lagos.
