The popular and talented actor made a five -minute video crying his eyes out about some people are using the clips he posted on social media from some scenes of the movie to create their own stories around it and then going for the movie’s sensation, Aunty Ramota to shoot another video with the same concept with his..
He explained how he suffered to shoot this video which according to him was the first production in his name and the probably the most successful of his productions as could be seen from the engagements he got from just dropping pictures and some clips from the movies on his social media.
The actor while trying not to cry which he could not help, said he had to sell his land, borrowed money from people he was not supposed to borrow from, so as to make this production successful. It was now this same movie that someone sat down somewhere and decided to take the credit. He explained how these people, in order to overshadowed him, decided to make use of actors that are bigger than those he used in his own.
He however, urged his fans and Nigerians to please disregard any of these movies as he is the original owner of ‘Oko Ramota’ and that it would be released soon. He also begged the people behind this with tears in his eyes to please let him reap the fruit of his labour.
