Bukunmi Oluwasina, a renowned Nollywood actress, recently voiced her opinion on a viral video featuring actor Sylvester Madu selling Okrika clothes.
The TikTok video, posted by @ejimaa, captured the 48-year-old movie star arranging and selling clothes at a market. The clip garnered significant attention on social media, leading to diverse reactions from netizens. Some speculated that the actor was shooting a movie, while others defended his legitimate side hustle.
In response, Bukunmi Oluwasina defended Sylvester’s business and emphasized the importance of recognizing the dignity and pride in individuals who choose to provide for their families in unconventional ways.
In her statement, Bukunmi Oluwasina highlighted the normalization of fake lives lived by some celebrities on social media. She drew attention to the fact that society often fails to appreciate those who remain true to themselves and engage in honest work to support their families. According to the actress, Sylvester’s choice to sell Okrika clothes is far more commendable than resorting to begging or engaging in illegal activities.
The Nollywood star further compared Sylvester’s actions to those of other role models who borrow designer items solely for social media posts, only to return them or give them back to the stores they were purchased from. In doing so, Bukunmi Oluwasina aimed to expose the hypocrisy and artificiality that can often be found in the lives of some celebrities. She commended Sylvester for living authentically and urged others to refrain from recording individuals without their consent or sharing such videos.
Bukunmi Oluwasina concluded her response by emphasizing that Sylvester might have been on a film set during the time of the video, reinforcing the possibility that the actor’s actions were part of a movie scene. She called for respect and acceptance, urging people to allow others the freedom to live their lives without judgment.
