Nollywood star Uche Ogbodo
Nollywood actress cum producer Uche Ogbodo has received the bashing of her life from her fans.
The 34-year-old Enugu State-born diva whose journey to Nollywood began following the decision of her father to register her with the Actors Guild of Nigeria in Enugu State, received the bashing over the weekend.
She posted a video on her Instagram page, displaying a film camera with broken lens.
She said in the video: “So we were filming and our camera fell from a height. This is the result of the accident. Thank God our black magic survived. But our lens is gone.”
Several of her followers on Instagram commented on the post, with most of them attacking the actress who posed nude on her birthday in 2019 and splashed the photos on the social media.
According to the comments by her fans, it was either her post was ill-timed as a result of the ongoing protests by Nigerian youths, or that the post was just simply irrelevant.
The first fan, @josephyna9 asked her: “So what do you want us to do?” The actress replied, “Buy me another one.” And the fan retorted: “We don’t have money now. May be when we are done fighting this bad government we can do a GoFundMe for you.”
A few other comments on the post were as follows:
