Nigerian thespian Toro Aramide has expressed her outrage towards certain individuals in her profession whom she labeled as ‘hypocrites.’
Taking to Instagram, Toro Aramide criticized several actors in the Nollywood industry for sharing pictures of a fellow actor upon their demise while failing to display a similar level of enthusiasm during his birthday celebrations just days before his death.
The performer emphasized that this kind of unpredictability is among the factors that discourage her from cultivating friendships within the entertainment field.
In a post on her Instagram page, Aramide expressed, “Do you now understand why I mentioned that I am not involved in the film industry to establish companionships? Someone has tragically passed away, and yet others are preoccupied with sharing his photographs.”
“Meanwhile, just a few days ago, he celebrated his birthday, and the majority of these individuals didn’t even bother to extend a simple birthday wish, let alone share his pictures. This is the height of hypocrisy.”
“Whether you choose to despise me or not, that’s entirely your problem. I simply know how to focus on my own affairs. Hypocritical individuals are pervasive.”
This development follows shortly after the news of Murphy Afolabi’s death was shared with his numerous fans and fellow professionals, who have been expressing their condolences to the filmmaker through various social media platforms.
Afolabi, after a brief illness, tragically passed away on Sunday morning, May 14, and collapsed at his home in the Ikorodu region of Lagos State. His burial took place on Monday.
