Seyi Law Praises President Tinubu’s Decision to Remove Fuel Subsidy

In a recent statement, renowned Nigerian actor and comedian Oluwaseyitan Aletile, popularly known as Seyi Law, commended President Bola Tinubu for the controversial decision to eliminate the fuel subsidy in Nigeria. While acknowledging that this policy shift has resulted in immediate hardships for many citizens, Seyi Law contended that it is ultimately a necessary step toward long-term benefits for the nation.
During his commentary, Seyi Law expressed his belief that the fuel subsidy should have been abolished much earlier, specifically citing the year 2012. He argued that had the subsidy been removed during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, when Tinubu’s political faction actively protested against it, the country would have already been liberated from the economic strain associated with the subsidy.
“Fuel subsidy should have been long gone. If it had gone in 2012 we would have gone through the pain process and by now we would have been healing,” Seyi Law remarked. He recalled his own involvement in the protests against the subsidy, noting that he was among the few celebrities to publicly oppose the subsidy system at that time.
Seyi Law highlighted the dire financial situation of the nation, referencing comments made by former Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who noted that the government was struggling to pay salaries and was borrowing to meet its financial obligations. This retrospective insight adds weight to Seyi Law’s assertion that the removal of the subsidy, despite its current challenges, is a crucial move towards economic reform and sustainability for Nigerians.

Nollywood Casting Practices Under Scrutiny: Actress Jemima Osunde Voices Concerns.

Recent comments by Nollywood actress Jemima Osunde have ignited debate regarding evolving casting practices within the Nigerian film industry. Osunde, in conversation with fellow actor Jammal Ibrahim, highlighted the increasing pressure placed on actors to cultivate a robust social media presence as a prerequisite for securing roles.
Osunde argues that filmmakers appear to be prioritizing actors with significant online followings, effectively demanding that performers become content creators in addition to honing their acting craft. She questions the necessity of forcing actors to engage in viral trends, such as dance challenges, as a means of securing casting opportunities.
Ibrahim echoed Osunde’s sentiments, emphasizing the role of effective management in navigating these changing expectations. He stressed the importance of leveraging an actor’s existing strengths and personality rather than attempting to mold them into something inauthentic.
Osunde’s claims raise crucial questions about the balance between artistic merit and marketing viability in Nollywood, potentially reshaping the landscape for aspiring and established actors alike.
