Nollywood actress and filmmaker Bolaji Ogunmola has expressed frustration over comments on social media, hinting that she may step aside from social media platforms to concentrate on herself and her work.
Ogunmola reacted after a social media user criticised her on-screen chemistry with co-star Daniel, describing it as excessive and suggesting it could lead to real-life romantic feelings.
The user, identified by the handle “I hate lies,” made a reference to Ogunmola’s recent movie, ‘The Bloom After.’ The comment also compared the situation to the early stages of the relationship between actors Yul Edochie and Judy Austin.

In her response, Ogunmola expressed displeasure with the tone of online commentary and indicated that she might reduce her social media presence to focus on her professional commitments.
The user wrote, “To be honest, you and Daniel kissing movies is too much, and it’s looking like you guys are an item. Why didn’t you kiss the 1st guy, Anthony, in your new movie? Remember that was how Yul and Judy started. Feelings can develop. You guys should tune it down”.
While emphasising her professionalism, Ogunmola explained that she doesn’t interact with co-stars outside work and all relationships with colleagues are controlled based on the standards of the acting profession.
She replied, “You are an absolute retard!! You watched to tweet stupidity, and it shows. What is the entire film about, you nitwit!! You want to reduce my entire work to kissing.
You are an absolute fool, and all of you are thinking like that. What foolish item? We don’t even talk outside of work!. You think because you lack boundaries and have no respect for yourself, everyone acts and carries themselves like that, you absolute fool.
“I don’t care what happened to any other actor… so of us have plenty of dignity and self-respect. Your opinion about things is a direct representation of who you are and what you stand for,” she continued.
Things I have learned: so many people aren’t professionals, and people lack strong boundaries and are cheats themselves if the situation enables them,” She said.
