Actress Biola Adebayo has questioned the mixed reactions she continues to receive from Nigerians, saying she is finding it difficult to understand what people really expect from her.
The actress reflected on several instances where she used her platform to help people, only to face criticism regardless of what she did. From seeking support for singer Busola Oke during a difficult period to assisting a woman who wanted to sell her property to settle debts, Biola said every effort has been met with conflicting opinions.
She also pointed to another case involving a young woman who publicly apologised to her grandmother after assaulting her, saying even that attracted criticism from people who believed the apology should not have been shared.
Frustrated by the different reactions on his page, Biola said:
“What do Nigerians really want from me? A few months ago I brought singer Busola Oke to my platform when she was feeling suicidal so people could help her. Unfortunately, I received a lot of backlash from Nigerians.
They kept dragging me and asking what happened to Busola Oke’s hands and legs that she couldn’t work. Some even said I had started taking them for granted just because they were watching me.
A few days ago I brought this lady who said she was owing some people money to my platform. She asked me to help her post the property she wanted to sell so she could pay her debts.
Now I have seen lots of people dragging me again, asking why I couldn’t help her by posting her account details for Nigerians to support her.
I am so confused at this point. They were the same people who condemned me when I did it for Busola Oke, and they are still the same people asking me to do it for this new woman.
A few weeks ago I posted a young lady apologising to her grandmother because she used a pestle to hit her grandmother on the head until she fainted.
Lots of people still dragged me. Some even said I shouldn’t have allowed her to apologise because her grandmother was also at fault. Really?
Kí ló fa àwọn ìwà wèrè báyìí ( what is the cause of all the crazy attitudes)? Please, you guys should leave me alone. If you want to help that woman, come and take her account details and stop dragging me.”
