AGN Neglected Halima Abubakar, Ify Onwuemene – Blogger

\"\"\"\"
A Nigerian freelance blogger Gift Adene has countered the Actors Guild of Nigeria AGN’s claim of extending love and care to all of its members as the reason it visited Regina Daniels, recalling how the guild neglected actresses Halima Abubakar and Ify Onwuemene.
This is coming after Lala Akindoju slammed the AGN for taking visitation to Regina Daniels as priority when it should be doing something in line with the pandemic for and with its members (read here and the guild’s reply here).\"AGN\"AGN
Taking to Twitter, Gift Adene noted that Ify Onwuemene had been down with cancer for some years now and the AGN neglected her, even to the point of not putting out any statement concerning her. He added that the body never paid Halima Abubakar a visit when she birthed her baby, despite the fact that she is a member too.
SO Nollywood actors under d “AGN” umbrella have hurriedly gone to visit Regina Daniels for birthing her son, they even crowned the child “Baby of the Year”. But they are yet to publicly say anything or show support for veteran actress, Ify Onwuemene who has been down with cancer. This life no balance at all. Truly no one knows you when you are down and out, but people know you when you are up and high!!!\"\"\"\"

PS: I am NOT saying they shouldn’t have visited RD. It’s a nice move. But why are they all quiet over Ify’s case? Cos she is broke ATM? Oh, when they visit her, they won’t be leaving with fat envelops. Halima Abubakar who is a bonafide member of the guild gave birth, no such visit or special honour was given. Some other practitioners gave birth too… Nollywood actors are just a hungry bunch of a*s lickers. All because of “thanks for coming”… Smh“, he wrote.\"\"\"\"
