Fans of Nollywood actor Saidi Balogun have slammed him for crying out over the current state of things in the country.
Kemi Filani reported that Saidi had cried out over the economic hardship and situation in the country. The Yoruba actor questioned if there was no functional price control or price regulatory agency in Nigeria. He further questioned how they can cushion the effects of inflation.
The actor noted how things are getting out of hand.
His statement didn’t sit well with many of his fans, who noted how he was part of those who campaigned for the President.
One Justice Oso questioned if the economic hardship got to his side, too, as he stated that he thought the masses were the only ones suffering.
“Waoooo he don reach una side too? I think say na only we the masses the thing dey affect o”.
Replying to him, Saidi made him know that the rain falls on everyone regardless of status. He stated that because he has an umbrella does not mean he doesn’t see the effect of the rain.
He wrote, “The rain falls on everyone, sir, regardless of status. Because I probably have an umbrella does not mean I don’t see the effect of the rain”.
Another fan had questioned if the actor truly cared about the state of things in the country. He wrote, “As if he cares”.
He made the fan know that he cared, but he knew the fan didn’t know that because he already had such a mindset. He hopes God answers his prayers.
“Of course, I care. But you would never know that because you already have your mindset. May God answer our prayers”.
