His views resonated with several peers in the entertainment sector, who took to the comments to share their own experiences.

Actress Biola Bayo remarked, “Come ask me o. They’ll apply for jobs, call for an interview and won’t show up. The ones you pick will not resume work, or the one who resumes doesn’t want to work.”

Media personality Stephanie Coker added, “I spent the whole weekend discussing this.”
