“The small respect I had for you
is gone,” Mike Ezuruonye stated has he blasted his colleague Kunle Afoloyan on
his social media page.
The mild drama started on Sunday
after popular filmmaker, Kunle Afolayan shared a message he got from an
Instagram user accusing Ezuruonye of scamming women and lying about it.
Afolayan shared a screenshot of
the message accusing Ezuruonye and captured it with a Yoruba language asking
the accuser how all of that was his business.
But that didn’t sit well with Ezuruonye who wasted no time in bashing Kunle Afolayan.
He noted that Kunle should have
called him privately before posting it on social media, adding that what he did
was out of hate for the Igbo people.

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish
Reacting to the acctack launched
at him by his aggrieved colleague, Mike Ezuruonye, Award-winning movie maker
and actor, Kunle Afolayan has said that he was misunderstood
Mike bashed Kunle Afolayan and
accused him of tribalism after the Mokalik producer shared an incriminating
screenshot which implied he (Mike) was fraudulent.
Kunle, however, noted that Mike
misunderstood his message as he never intended to put him in the bad light.
He also tendered an apology to
Mike Ezuruonye.
“While I did not see my innocent
reaction to an indicting post by a random IG follower as capable of further
hurting my friend and colleague, Mike Ezuruonye, to be labelled a tribalist in
retaliation is very unfortunate,” Kule Afolayan stated.
“Honestly, I was misunderstood.
“My reaction, which was rather
spontaneous, was to chide the IG follower who appeared to be reporting the
actor to me. And I merely asked (in Yoruba) how all of that was my business. It
was like saying ‘when did I become an officer of the law’. Obviously, my
colleague took the context of my post wrongly, and angrily accused me of
tribalism.
“I do not know what gave birth to
such misrepresentation. However, while I am famous for living and promoting
everything that my tradition stands for as a Yoruba man, I have maintained a
mutual friendship with people of other extractions, Igbos especially. It is
therefore not in the interest of both of us (Mike Ezuruonye and I) to
politicise our emotion with tribal colouration. For me, this is undeserving of
our other friends, and goes to offend the sensibility of genuine relationships
we have each cultivated with people of other tribes.”
On how he has been promoting
inter-tribal relationships through his works, Afolayan says the facts are there
for all to see.
“The ideals are reflected in the
themes and plots of my movies, some of which include; The Figurine, The Bridge,
Phone Swap, Omugwo, and Roti.”
The moviemaker further said he
has offered an olive branch on the matter. “I have told Mike ‘I’m sorry’ since
he found my post offensive. I am also apologizing to anyone who also may have
seen things from his point of view. Ire o,” he wrote.
