Nollywood actress Jayeola Monje wrote a heartfelt message to filmmaker Biodun Stephen, who is having a hard time.

The filmmaker who has won awards shared on her Instagram about her bad experience with some local boys who used her weakness to take money from her. She said her bus stopped working on the road and she had to pay $22,000 to some local guys before they would help her.

“As of now; we have parted with 22k to area boys just because our bus broke down. If we stand by watching, na we all go suffer am. I’m calling on the government to please deliver us from Area Boys!!!!! I am BEGGING”.

Jayeola Monje wrote a heartfelt message to her, saying that she understands and feels her pain. Sadly, she feels really sad to know that in our society, people don't understand what pain is.

She said that the only people we can count on for help are the government, but they don't listen to our complaints.

Jayeola said that theater people should unite and speak out against the bad things happening.

“@biodunstephen so sorry about everything. I know how you feel and I can relate with how much you’re holding back on the pain. Unfortunately, we live in a society where people don’t understand what pain is anymore ( iya tidi baraku)
Blood are in the eyes of these boys and the only help we have is the Government. They hear our cries but act like ko kan mi.
Orun ma wo, kin se eru enikan ( when heaven falls, we all bear the consequences )

These boys claimed to be the government themselves (who won beat them?) and when you cry or run…to WHOM Gangan? We don’t deserve this punishment we get as citizens of the country, especially at our workplaces or locations.

All hopes and efforts seem lost from my end. Oti su mi!!

I think all theater practitioners should come under one voice (umbrella) and protest against this wicked act! Everywhere you go, is their father’s land or area shameful, very shameful indeed.

I don’t know any more ways to tackle these problematic beings. We must find a way to the heart of our leaders!

My prayer is to see a better society where we can work/walk peacefully without fear.
