You hate Igbos -Actors Mike Ezuruonye, Kunle Afolayan trade words

 


“The small respect I had for you is gone,” Mike Ezuruonye stated has he blasted his colleague Kunle Afoloyan on his social media page.

 

The mild drama started on Sunday after popular filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan shared a message he got from an Instagram user accusing Ezuruonye of scamming women and lying about it.

 

Afolayan shared a screenshot of the message accusing Ezuruonye and captured it with a Yoruba language asking the accuser how all of that was his business.

 

But that didn’t sit well with Ezuruonye who wasted no time in bashing Kunle Afolayan.

 


He noted that Kunle should have called him privately before posting it on social media, adding that what he did was out of hate for the Igbo people.

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish


Reacting to the acctack launched at him by his aggrieved colleague, Mike Ezuruonye, Award-winning movie maker and actor, Kunle Afolayan has said that he was misunderstood

 

Mike bashed Kunle Afolayan and accused him of tribalism after the Mokalik producer shared an incriminating screenshot which implied he (Mike) was fraudulent.

 

Kunle, however, noted that Mike misunderstood his message as he never intended to put him in the bad light.

 

He also tendered an apology to Mike Ezuruonye.

 

“While I did not see my innocent reaction to an indicting post by a random IG follower as capable of further hurting my friend and colleague, Mike Ezuruonye, to be labelled a tribalist in retaliation is very unfortunate,” Kule Afolayan stated.

 

“Honestly, I was misunderstood.

 

“My reaction, which was rather spontaneous, was to chide the IG follower who appeared to be reporting the actor to me. And I merely asked (in Yoruba) how all of that was my business. It was like saying ‘when did I become an officer of the law’. Obviously, my colleague took the context of my post wrongly, and angrily accused me of tribalism.

 

“I do not know what gave birth to such misrepresentation. However, while I am famous for living and promoting everything that my tradition stands for as a Yoruba man, I have maintained a mutual friendship with people of other extractions, Igbos especially. It is therefore not in the interest of both of us (Mike Ezuruonye and I) to politicise our emotion with tribal colouration. For me, this is undeserving of our other friends, and goes to offend the sensibility of genuine relationships we have each cultivated with people of other tribes.”

 

On how he has been promoting inter-tribal relationships through his works, Afolayan says the facts are there for all to see.

 

“The ideals are reflected in the themes and plots of my movies, some of which include; The Figurine, The Bridge, Phone Swap, Omugwo, and Roti.”

 

The moviemaker further said he has offered an olive branch on the matter. “I have told Mike ‘I’m sorry’ since he found my post offensive. I am also apologizing to anyone who also may have seen things from his point of view. Ire o,” he wrote.
