Actor Femi Adebayo defend Tonto Dike from trolls over her review on his new movie
Femi Adebayo, a Nollywood actor, defended Tonto Dikeh, an English colleague, against fan criticism when she wrote a review of his film.
The actress discussed the film Jagun Jagun after making headlines on Thursday for criticizing the NDLEA.
Tonto admitted that she hadn’t seen a Nigerian film in over 10 or 12 years, and that the experience had left her shaken and speechless.
She praised the cast and crew for their outstanding work and called Jagun Jagun an awesome movie.
Tonto highlighted that she doesn’t personally know any of the cast or crew and that she only saw the film on the advice of her international friends.
“This is my review for My very first watched Nigerian movie in over 10/12 years.
I was shook. I think this is an amazing movie. Don’t personally know anyone in this movie from production to crew. But I watched it on popular demand via my international friends and I must say I AM FLABBERGASTED!!!
Weldone to the producers, crew, and cast!!”.
Many criticized the movie star when she claimed to not watch Nigerian movies and not be familiar with the Jagun Jagun actors.
One Baba Johne wrote, “First time watching Nigerian movie…don’t know anyone in the movie… All unnecessary information that no one needs to hear.
One Official Uwem Jay wrote, “You don’t know anyone in the movie? Really?
One Original Adedayo wrote, “Not watching your own country’s movie is now a flex. Okay
One Uhunamure Kenneth wrote, “Nobody asked her if she knows them personally, or if she doesn’t watch Nigeria movies. That’s your choice, you keep them to yourself”.
Femi Adebayo thanked her for the review in her comment area and pleaded the detractors to down their voices.
“Thank you Tonto. Guys please the word personally. In this context means we are not close hence no sentiment in her review. Pls let it be. Thank you so much. I appreciate you all”.
He defended her by saying that Tonto was simply expressing that she didn’t have a close relationship with them and wasn’t being sentimental when she gave his movie a negative review because of this.
“My brother let’s use this energy to know ourselves. Pls forget these people. I appreciate you sir”.
Tonto responded, requesting that they get to know one another better.
“They will leave the word PERSONALLY, and face oda things dat don’t matter. I can see d comments already. Read to understand MBA”.
Nkechi Blessing added her voice to the discussion and criticized the naysayers for their ignorance.
