A woman, known as VeeDeeBee on social media and based abroad, has lit up social media after releasing a sharp-tongued video targeting Yoruba Nollywood actors whom she accused of shamelessly backing President Bola Tinubu while ordinary Nigerians continue to suffer.

In the Instagram reel posted on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the visibly frustrated woman directed her anger squarely at actors within the Yoruba film genre, not mainstream Nollywood broadly, calling them "the most ignorant bunch" she had ever encountered.

Her central grievance was that these actors have repeatedly campaigned for Tinubu and publicly defended his administration, even as many Nigerians struggle to afford necessities.

She pointed to fuel prices as a flashpoint, contrasting the 97 naira per litre under former President Goodluck Jonathan, when some of the same actors famously joined street protests, with the current price of roughly 1,000 naira, which she said they now celebrate as progress.

Yoruba actors warned over medical fundraisers

She also turned her criticism on the viewing public itself, acknowledging that fans, including those in the diaspora, continue to watch and monetise these actors' films on YouTube and in cinemas despite what she described as consistently poor quality.

The lady argued that the box office success of Yoruba films, some reportedly crossing 500 million naira at the cinema, had given actors a false sense of security and insulated them from accountability.

In an accompanying statement, he drew a direct line between the events of that day and the current state of policing in Lagos, citing the use of police to disrupt his own party declaration as evidence that the system remains broken. R
