Comedian, Ali Baba just posted his own candid thought on Instagram concerning the viral video of former actor, Femi Ogedengbe working as a security guard in the US.
The comedian wrote, “let me say, my respect for this guy cant be measured right now. He has blown me away with his handling of the realities in his life. Some people know how to get through life, while others let life get to them. This is a man who put his ego and fame to the back, and faced reality. TO MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR HIS FAMILY AND HIMSELF.
Ali Baba also addressed people who mock people doing honest work and praising the ‘Kidnappers, Yahoo Yahoo boys’ that such life is not good and the system in Nigeria allows it.
He further said, “We like to see people who are famous LOOKING RICH. Doesn’t matter how they do it. That’s pressure. Major pressure. That’s why people are forced to steal, turn to prostitution, carry drugs, go into politics and Rob the country blind… because our yardstick for measuring success is flawed to the floor. We only respect thieves.”
Ali Baba also noted that most celebrities don’t bank on the money they make from films, but they source for it somewhere else and people should not be carried away by the lifestyle they see.
