Nollywood actress Rita Edochie has aired her thoughts about her industry, which she noted is filled with hate and envy.
In a now-deleted post on her Instagram page, she admonished her followers never to be moved by the love expressed on social media as it is completely fake. She stated that sometimes she wonders what pride and unnecessary show-offs are about when everyone is always going to go down one day.
The veteran questioned why they hated each other, the essence of the untold competition and why they wanted to kill each other. She noted how some start getting jealous the moment they see others doing better than them and don’t show real love until when a person dies.
“THIS IS FOR NOLLYWOOD AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS THEY OWN THE WORLD.
DEAREST, DON’T EVER BE MOVED BY THE LOVE EXPRESSED ON SOCIAL MEDIA; IT’S COMPLETELY FAKE.
SOMETIMES, I WONDER WHAT THE PRIDE AND UNNECESSARY SHOW-OFF ARE ABOUT WHEN WE ARE ALL GOING TO GO DOWN ONE DAY, AND IT’S DUST TO DUST.
WHY SHOULD WE ENVY EACH OTHER? WHY SHOULD WE KILL ONE ANOTHER? WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS UNTOLD COMPETITION?
AFTER DRAGGING AND CONTENDING WITH EACH OTHER, THE HELPLESS SKELETONS 💀 IN US WILL MANIFEST.
OUR FILM INDUSTRY, WHERE HATE AND ENVY TAKE THE LEAD.
YOU SEE YOUR NEIGHBOUR DOING WELL; YOU START GETTING ENVIOUS; ON THE PERSON’S BIRTHDAY, YOU DON’T CARE TO SHOW THE PERSON REAL LOVE, BUT WHEN THE PERSON GIVES UP, YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO CIRCULATE THE NEWS.
THEY POST YOU ON THEIR PAGES, WRITING EPISTLES OF LOVE
BUT THE BITTERNESS IN THEIR HEARTS IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL.
MY DEAR, LEARN TO BE YOURSELVES
ACQUAINTANCE IS NOT WELCOMED IN OUR DEAREST INDUSTRY.
BUT REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING YOUR HEALTH, YOUR BEAUTY, YOUR POWER, YOUR PRIDE, YOUR CELEBRITY STATUS,
YOUR MONEY, YOUR EDUCATION,
HIS EXCELLENCY, MOST REVEREND, HIS HIGHNESS, RT HON., HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, HIS LORDSHIP, MY LORD, HIGH CHIEF, DR, HON, PROF, NZE, JP, MON, MFR, OON,
DO YOU KNOW ME?
WHO ARE YOU?
I DON’T TAKE ORDINARY BEER.
I DRINK ONLY 21 YEARS, 45 YEARS,
ALL ARE VANITY UPON VANITY.
NOBODY WILL LIVE LONGER THAN METHUSELAH IN THE BIBLE; WE CAME FROM DUST, AND WE SHALL RETURN TO THE DUST.
LET’S CUT DOWN ON THE PRIDE INTIMIDATION AND SHOW OFF BECAUSE
THERE IS NOTHING SERIOUS ABOUT THIS LIFE”.
Last week, Rita Edochie had spoken out on the series of deaths in Nollywood. She expressed how aggravated she is by the way people are throwing shades at Nollywood and pointed out how deaths occur everywhere, as she made it known that nobody is killing anyone in the industry.
Rita told those rumour peddlers to stop the slandering as she stressed that death is everywhere as humans are mortals.
