‘You’ve Always Hated Igbos’ – Actor Mike Ezuruonye Slams Filmmaker Kunle Afolayan

Nollywood actor, Mike Ezuruonye has slammed filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan for sharing screenshot of a Direct Message (DM) he received on Instagram in which he (Mike) was tagged a fraudster.

In the DM screenshot, Ezuruonye was accused of scamming women and the filmmaker was being called upon to intervene.

Afolayan shared the photo, with the caption which reads; “Help me, what is my own in this matter?”.

However reacting to this, Mike Ezuruonye stated that people have been impersonating entertainers to defraud people all around the world, recalling how a fraudster who impersonated him was arrested months ago by the EFCC.

The actor further accused Kunle Afolayan of hating Igbos and also recounted how the filmmaker said years ago that “Igbos are the ones spoiling the movie industry and he doesn’t like casting them”.
