Most Entertainers Run Afterpoliticians Because Ofpoverty – Saheed Balogun by mrlabari(m): 8:13pm On Jan 29, 2015 |
In an interview with Encomium magazine this week, actor Saheed Balogun said the reason entertainers run away after politicians is because of poverty. “(Poverty), that’s why you see some of our people running helter-skelter, campaigning for all these politicians. But there’s one question we have all not asked, and that’s what makes American artists donate to politicians while the actors here in Nigeria are asking from politicians. Every member of the National Assembly has not made an reasonable law on piracy which has devoured the industry. So, there’s poverty in the industry. If there’s not, you won’t see our people flocking around all these politicians, campaigning, singing and dancing for them. I saw a candidate being surrounded by some of our colleagues; I now said to myself, ‘if this man eventually wins, how many actors or musicians will he remember? Although some are doing it to make ends meet. And it’s sad because we’re stars. I think we’re supposed to be worshiped, not worshiping others. Even if a governor holds your hand, he’s supposed to be happy. But now, the reverse is the case.

Ok... But he only talked about the ones campaigning for politicians, what about the ones accused of infidelity maybe sleeping with politicians . Well artists campaigning for politicians is their business, artists accused of infidelity probably sleeping with politicians is the business of the politicians, me commenting on this thread what's my business? . Nothing, I think I should find a business (my books) . |
