Nollywood actress and President of Actors Guild of Nigeria,
Ibinabo Fiberesima has lashed out at all those who blamed the
AGN for abandoning late actor, Muna Obiekwe to his fate.
Speaking during the candlelight service held in honour of the
actor in Lagos, she revealed that she was shocked at reports
going round that the AGN dumped Muna.
Ibinabo
Hear her: “Think first before you write. The man was married, he
had a wife and children. When you go about writing rubbish
about the dead, it will haunt you. If you don’t know the truth
about something, don’t spread it. It’s even worse if you are an
AGN member. Everyone is sad because of his death. If I had
known, being the kind of person I am, I would die to save Muna.
I didn’t know, most of us never knew and Muna begged the few
people who knew not to tell anyone. He had his reasons and let
us respect it. Let’s stop writing rubbish – He drank alcohol,
does that make you better than him? Let us respect Muna, he’s
no longer with us. Mind your business”
Speaking further she accused some members of AGN of double
standards, saying this lot were never the committed ones. “All
those throwing daggers at AGN, dumping Muna and not taking
care of him. How many of you are registered and validated AGN
members. But when something goes wrong, you’ll remember
AGN. This AGN is a guild, not a hospital. We are worried about
your welfare, but if you’re not registered with us, we cannot help
you. We have helped people we don’t even know because they
came to us. If you need help, let us know” she says
Continuing she said, “There’s also a publication going round
about another ailing actor, Prince James Uche. My heart is
broken because we have gone the length to help him, so I’m
shocked to hear that we have abandoned yet another actor. We
don’t abandon actors. We have paid his rent for three years
now, we have paid his hospital bills and put him on a health
plan. We have taken him to the best hospitals for medical tests.
I’m really shocked at the stories fllying around. If you don’t
know the truth about something, you ask. I know the kind of
heart God has given me and I have God’s grace upon me. So no
matter what you do to destroy me, I can’t be destroyed. I love
Muna and if I could help him, I would if I had known about his
ailment. But God knows why this has happened” May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace. Amen!
