Nollywood actor Nonso Diobi has lashed out at so-called friends in the Nigerian movie industry accusing them of not being there for him when he expected their presence the most.
Recall that the 40-year-old actor was involved in an accident on Sunday, April 17 and by Monday, April 18 he took to Instagram to share a post on the unfortunate incident.
He wrote: “Had an accident yesterday evening, my leg all plastered up but I believe that sometimes God allows some things to happen to people so we can know who our true friends are.
“If you have or know anyway u can help me heal faster, please do and always put me in your daily prayers…Thank u and I love u all”
Nigerian movie star Nonso Diobi speaks on being abandoned by his friends during his time of need.
Shortly after sharing the message, he deleted the post for reasons we are yet to ascertain. But he succeeded in attracting the attentions of his fans who flooded the post with various messages as they expressed concern and wished him a speedy recovery.
In a new development, Nonso went on the picture-sharing, video-sharing platform today, April 20 to slam his associates in the industry for not being true friends in his time of need.
He wrote: “ This past few days has been the toughest time of my life, some friendship started while some ended in this few days .
“ Sometimes God allows things to happen to good people just to show u who your REAL friends are… Its so ironic how those ‘friends’ close to u never cared when u down, those close friends of mine I talk to everyday even on the phone never showed any care or affection towards my situation.. Can’t even count the number of DM’s and calls I got from pple I don’t even know or talk to just to check up on me and no how they can help.
“ Celebrities are also humans forget what u see on TV ,they feel pain and they also try to reach out to pple, most people that HV met me or talked with me can bear me witness that I’m not one of those celebs that are rude, proud and acts like a god…. Its so sad when I tried to reach out to most people this past few days all I got was the ” I DONT CARE SIGNAL”
And it has made me realized that most people I v got around me are just there cos of the name, celebrity status and fame, just wanna say a big thank u to all those people that I don’t no or talked to but yet check up on me everyday and even tried to help my situation… Pls be careful of FRENEMIES….I love u all regardless.”
This is not the first situation where an artiste has complained about the nonchalance of colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry.
In a similar incident, Nollywood actor Charles Okocha in the past berated the actions of his colleagues in the Nigerian movie industry saying they were not there for him during his time of need.
The actor who survived gunshot Wounds from a drunk policeman in December 2015 in Nnewi, Anambra said the incident opened his eyes to a lot of things.
“Today, I know who my real friends are because even the people I thought would stand by me in this trying period have deserted me,” he said in an interview with Punch.
Nonso Diobi hails from Anambra state and has enjoyed success over the years as a top actor.
His first Nollywood appearance was in the movie Border Line which was released in 2001.
