Veteran Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has stirred fresh conversations online after speaking candidly about entertainers who publicly support politicians.
In a recent interview with Oyinmomo TV, the 64-year-old star did not hold back, describing some of his colleagues as “greedy,” particularly those who campaign for political figures in exchange for personal gain.
The actor pointed out that many entertainers are already financially secure and should focus on using their platforms to represent the struggles of ordinary Nigerians, rather than pursuing political rewards.
Speaking in Yoruba, Doyle emphasized that the entertainment industry is not as financially desperate as some claim. He said:
“Many of the entertainers are greedy. Because if you consider the entertainment industry very well, actors are getting fed well from their income. And if you are comfortable and you want to contribute, you should not be looking for personal benefits again. They should speak on behalf of the masses.”
Doyle also revealed what often happens after some entertainers finish campaigning. He recounted witnessing situations where entertainers who campaigned for politicians later fought among themselves over the financial rewards. He said:
“Most of those entertainers who campaigned in my presence, you would actually think they are really campaigning for that person, and when they are done, you will still see the entertainers fighting themselves over the financial benefit.”
Reflecting on the 2023 presidential election, Doyle noted that it caused significant divisions in the entertainment industry. He explained that the line between entertainment and politics has become increasingly blurred, with many stars openly declaring their political loyalties.
According to him, the election exposed sharp divisions among actors, with some facing both online and physical attacks due to their political choices.
