Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola has clapped back at a fan who berated her for mourning the late actor Charles Olumo, better known as Baba Agbako.
Kemi Filani reported on Thursday that Nollywood had announced the demise of the veteran actor. The Theatre Arts And Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN announced his demise through the page of its president, Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin. Mr Latin, on behalf of the group, said the veteran died on Thursday and was aged 101.
Foluke, via her Instagram page, had shared a video of her visiting the late actor’s house. In the video, the movie star was captured shedding tears as she mingled with his family. Sharing the video, Foluke described Agbako as a rare gem as she revealed that she would surely miss him.
Taking to her comment section, the fan questioned when last she posed or visited him
“When last did you post or visit him, dey play”.
Replying to him, Foluke called him insàne for such a question as she made him know that she would be blocking him because she didn’t need bitter hearts on her page.
“U must be insàne to be saying that to me. Oponu ni e ode. Definitely blocking u, but enjoy for now, or unfollow yourself. I don’t need bitter hearts like u in my space. Carry ur useless life and butter life away from my page, omo ale”.
Over the years, Foluke Daramola has become a mouthpiece for ailing veterans, as she loves to offer support to ailing veterans. In December of last year, following the death of veteran Dejumo Lewis, Foluke had written an open letter to President Tinubu and the Governor of Lagos State, on the poor state of Nollywood actors. She noted how many veteran actors suffer, especially health-wise, and have no help. Foluke urged the president to offer a better arrangement for the veterans and to set up a trust fund for the veterans and provide little things for them that they would appreciate for the rest of their lives.
In August, Foluke Daramola expressed heartbreak over the death of Nollywood production manager Yusuf Olorungbebe. Foluke took to her Instagram page to announce the actor’s demise. She appreciated the public’s support as she stated that the actor had submitted to God’s will.
