Controversial activist, VeryDarkMan, has released a video expressing his strong emotions of disappointment and indignation towards the entire Nollywood industry in response to the video of Mr. Ibu pleading for assistance with his medical bills.
In the video, Mr. Ibu, the renowned Nollywood icon who celebrated his birthday with family recently, made a heartfelt plea for public assistance in addressing his medical condition.
The release of Mr. Ibu’s plea video appears to have deeply affected VeryDarkMan, who used the opportunity to criticize Nollywood as a whole. He argued that Mr. Ibu, a legendary figure with a substantial body of work in the industry, should not have to resort to public appeals for medical assistance. This, in his view, reflects a systemic flaw in the Nigerian film industry.
VeryDarkMan highlighted that many Nigerians tend to overlook the contributions of these industry legends, and he believes that Nollywood should have developed the means to provide financial support to veterans like Mr. Ibu, akin to a pension system.
He concluded the video by urging his extensive follower base of over six hundred thousand on the platform to consider contributing a minimum of one thousand Naira each to support Mr. Ibu in obtaining the necessary medical treatment.
