Things are really happening oh! Yvonne Jegede has just disclosed her reason why she no longer does giveaway on social media as is common with most Nollywood celebs.
According to the popular actress, a woman that she had helped financially to start an egg business blocked her the moment she got the bank alert. This made Yvonne Jegede who is known to be very kind-hearted feel “shocked and swindled”.
She said;
“I don’t do giveaways online because I know how much I try to reach people physically. A woman once sent me a message that she needed to start an egg business, and I sent some money.
“However, by the time I was sending her a message to let her know I had sent the money, she had blocked me. Apparently, she blocked me immediately after she got the alert. It was mind-blowing. I was shocked and I felt swindled.”
The actress who was speaking during an Instagram Live chat, also warned against getting into the movie industry as a last resort.
“The question is, why do you want to act? That is the first question I ask. When I ask them, they tell me, ‘I love acting’. You cannot come into acting just because you love it.
“Don’t come into acting as your last bus stop. There are other things you can do by the side. Eighteen years ago, acting just for the passion would have helped. But now, there are so many brilliant people in the industry, who have even been to acting school.”
“That means the competition is stiffer. You need to have substance. At times, some actors don’t get acting jobs for months. If you love acting, you should have something that you can fall back on.”
