Nigerian actor, Mike Ezuruonye is not buying the idea of “faking it till you make it”. In an Instagram video on Tuesday, May 12, 2020, he ranted about how some people are living fake lives to impress people that don’t matter.
He cited an example of someone who hasn’t been able settle his landlord in Lagos but was driving a very expensive car in an Instagram post which he captioned:
“You got a G-Wagon and Squatting…Been Impressing The Whole Lagos…Now you need Relief…I Can’t deal????#fakelifeisexpensive,”
This is not the first time a celebrity would be calling out people who live fake lifestyles on social media. Other Nollywood actors like Joke Silva, Tonto Dikeh and Funke Akindele, who have shared similar viewpoints, have sought to distinguish between reality and social media.
