A Nollywood star, Mr Ibu, has cursed
those he perceived to have diverted funds meant for the Actors Guild of
Nigeria, AGN from the Federal Government.
In a recent interview with Vanguard Newspaper, Mr Ibu
said that he had once sent a proposal to build a film village to the
Federal Government and is yet to get response, hence, he believes some
of his colleagues have gotten money and diverted the funds.
Born John Okafor, the comic actor disclosed that
while the former President, Goodluck Jonathan was in office, the Actors
Guild benefited immensely from his dispensation, yet some individuals
had diverted the money allocated to the industry to their personal
pocket.
In his words, “When ex-President Goodluck Jonathan was in office, every minute they were there asking for all manner of favour.”
Continuing, he said, ‘And the ex-President loved
us so much that he gave them huge money. All those who diverted monies
meant for AGN or Movie Makers will die because they do not know the
souls they have killed.
‘For 2016, if all these things are taken care of,
AGN will do better. I am promising one thing, am not contesting
anything on the AGN but, I have a lot of surprises,’ he promised.
