Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has revealed that she was sick for three days but received little concern from her followers on Instagram.
Naijaonpoint reports that in a video, the mother of one explained that during the period she was offline, no one reached out to ask about her wellbeing, except one Instagram user identified as @patcollections.
The influencer said that people are usually quick to flood her page with comments whenever she announces a giveaway but showed no interest in her absence.
According to the actress, the situation made her realize that social media attention is not genuine and that everyone must learn to live for themselves.
She stressed that once a person is gone, people only remember briefly before moving on with their lives.
Nkechi disclosed that she is recovering from the illness and decided to reward the only person who checked on her.
She announced that @patcollections would receive a luxury bag and ₦100,000 as a token of appreciation.
The actress further stated that she would henceforth reserve giveaways for people who truly value her, rather than those who only show up when she shares money or gifts.
She said: “Three whole days I was offline on Instagram. Nobody send my father, nobody even say ah, NBS where have you been, except one person @patcollections. She said ‘Mama, na two days ago you post last, hope everything is fine.’
“But if to say I no come make this video, I just spring up or say I wan do giveaway, you will see more than one million comments in seconds. What does that tell you? Nobody really send you for here. All man for himself. You have to live for yourself because the thing is, once you are gone, they will only think of you for a few days. 24 hours everybody will move on with their life.
“I’ve been very sick for the past three days, but I am getting better. So this person that reached out, the only person that dropped a comment under my last post, I am going to be giving her one bag from Lovely Luxury and a hundred thousand naira. So @patcollections kindly reach out to me. I don’t know if you’re a girl or a guy because it’s a business page, but at least I know a hundred thousand can do a whole lot. It might not do everything, but at least it’s something, just to say thank you for checking up on me.
“Please all the rest of you keep your fake love. This time around I just won’t do giveaway because I have, it’s for people wey actually get sense and wey need am, wey go collect my money or anything I am giving out moving forward. Because some of you na only when giveaway dey you go see them. Even the ones wey I feel say go check on me, dem no check o. Don’t worry.”
