Yoruba movie star, Ebun Oloyede, popularly known as Olaiya Igwe, is in the news again.
This time, the veteran actor made a nude video of himself campaigning for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.
The actor, who hails from Ogun State, has been in the news for his unusual gratitude to his benefactors, Mr Tinubu and MC Oluomo.
Earlier in the year, Mr Olaiya, who has been in the Yoruba movie industry since the 1970s after joining Abeokuta-based Musbau Shodimu Theatre Organisation, trended when he posted a clip of himself extolling Mr Tinubu’s generosity.
The actor is back again to support the same candidate. Uploading a nude video of himself on a beach, the actor offered prayers for Mr Tinubu’s victory.
The video captured the veteran actor from behind, nude. He then turned around and was caught in a headshot as he prayed to the ocean for Mr Tinubu’s victory.
Reminiscent of a typical Yoruba movie, the actor, who lost N52m to movie piracy in 2014, and once said that Mr Tinubu saved his life after he was diagnosed with nephrolithiasis (Kidney Stones) without knowing him, invoked the river god amidst thunder and lightning effects.
“It is my pleasure to support a candidate who reflects our values and highest ideals. There is one candidate in this election who will protect that dream.
“One leader who will fight hard to keep the promise of Nigeria for the next generation. And that’s why we must stand up and make Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban the next president of Nigeria,” he wrote on his Instagram page.
Instagram has deleted the actor’s account for violating the platform’s rules on nudity and obscenity.
