🎬 ₦10K Daily: Lalude Says “They Used Us, Dumped Us
Lagos, Nigeria – Veteran Nollywood actor Fatai “Lalude” Adetayo claims he and fellow entertainers were paid only ₦10,000 daily for feeding during the 2023 Tinubu campaign, then abandoned when election ended—a painful echo of broken promise and emotional betrayal in Nigerian politics.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Only ₦10K daily for feeding over 7 weeks campaigning.
Payments stopped after saving attempts, sometimes delayed 2–3 days.
No post‑campaign rewards; even promises of ₦1.5M by MC Oluomo to Lalude and Alapini went unfulfilled.
Lalude expressed anger: “Those withholding our benefits … will not prosper.”
Emotional outburst highlights frustrations of Nollywood stars within breaking news Nigeria.
The Story
Nollywood legend Lalude spoke up during the Behind the Fame interview, revealing they hit the campaign trail for President Bola Tinubu and Governor Sanwo-Olu, walking long distances under the sun, fueled by hope—and ₦10,000 daily rations.
“They were giving us ₦10,000 daily for feeding… when they saw we were saving the money, they’d stop payment for days,” he said, anger clear in his voice.
Despite slogging for over a month and three weeks—and reporting that MC Oluomo had personally assured him and comedian Alapini of ₦1.5 million each—nothing materialised.
“We finished the work, and no dime was given to us. Is it good?” Lalude lamented.
He even cast Yoruba curses on those who reneged—saying they “will not prosper … until their death.” The emotional weight of betrayal? Palpable.
This follows parallel complaints from stars like Alapini and Aminatu Papapa, painting a troubling pattern of exploitation in trending news Nigeria—where celebrity endorsement seems cheapened.
