Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has expressed his frustration over the excessive begging in his Direct Message (DM).
In a video shared on his Instagram page, Chinedu Ikedieze claimed that many people had turned his DM into a financial institution.
The actor highlighted the overwhelming nature of the requests, citing examples of individuals requesting large sums, such as $35,000 and $12,000 for various purposes.
Aki, who noted that celebrities also have responsibilities, pointed out that the monetary requests do not only come from Nigerians, indicating that it is a widespread problem.
’This is getting out of hand. How can you people turn my DM to Bank of Industry?. If I open my DM is always ‘’Oga please, please, please’ Jesus! It is too much. The way you guys beg it is like we do not have responsibilities. If I start to share the money like that it will finish.
“Imagine somebody was begging me for $35, 000. That is how much in Naira? Approximately twenty something Million. Another one was asking me for $12, 000 that he wants to pen a shop. The problem is even that it is not just Nigerians,’‘ he said
