HOW MANY MOVIES HAVE YOU DONE THAT GAVE YOU N45 MILLION TO BUY HOUSE"? ALI BABA BLASTS ACTRESSESS

 

Atunoya Alleluya Akpobome, better known as Ali Baba, is a Nigerian stand-up comedian who lambasted Nollywood actresses, putting the internet into such commotion.

Following the kidnapping of two veteran Nollywood actors and the demand for $100,000, Ali Baba had revealed Nollywood actresses' financial sources. They eventually paid a lower ransom, though, and were freed.

Ali Baba blasted actresses for having jobs outside of acting in a recent video that was posted on Instagram, wondering how many movies they have to play in to be capable of purchasing a million-dollar home.

The comedian who claimed he was compelled to disclose names used the example of an actress he met in Dubai who was sponsored to lounge there but then appeared online to make it appear that she had paid for the hotel bills to support his case.

Ali Baba wrote;

“How many movies have you done that gave you 45 million to buy a house? You that just joined the industry. The people that have been in the industry did not buy,” he said.

“I may be tempted to mention names but I won’t. We went to Dubai one time and while we were waiting we saw this actress and we saw a particular protocol of a person. He comes later and gives her a key and she goes upstairs. A few days later I see her posting…the ones that do business we know them, you’ll come here and be putting them on high jump,”

“Even if they pay you 5 million per movie how many movies do you do in a year? We know the ones that use their mileage and popularity to do business. But the ones we know cannot even act in an English movie it has to be ‘kilo so pe’ that kind of movie, you will now come and tell me you raised 125 million to buy a house in Lekki phase one”.

“Next thing they are talking about people you will now be putting mouth, ‘what is wrong with this man? He can put his thing inside his pant’.

 

A media personality, Latasha Nwugbe slammed popular comedian Ali Baba for his rant regarding some actresses with dubious wealth.

She said;

”With all due respect Uncle Ali, I don’t think you’re the person best suited to take on this topic. I think it’s beneath you and smacks of sexism. There are many male actors who are also doing the “wrong things” and engaged in illicit sexual activity with (older) women for pay and even other senior men. Your approach sounds like an attack on women when we should be focused on all genders and the pressures they put men and women under with their deceptive lifestyle. P.s. even those you identified that do business, it’s still not guaranteed that their ways are pure”.
