Nollywood actor Segun Ogungbe has recounted how fame has robbed him of his rights in the past.
During a recent interview with The Nation, Ogunbe narrated instances where he was forced to handle situations differently from ordinary people.
The filmmaker said, “Fame took away so many things from me. For instance, someone hit my vehicle from the back and when I confronted him, people that were present at the time started blaming me that I shouldn’t be the one in such a situation.
“Another similar incident happened some time ago in Ketu, Lagos. Another person hit my car from the back and seriously damaged the back side of the car, but I didn’t bother to wait or confront the person; I just zoomed off straight to Abeokuta, where I went to fix the vehicle.”
Ogungbe explained that experiences like these have shaped how he now reacts to issues both in public and online.
“So, there are many things people expect me to react to, even on social media, but I won’t because of past experiences,” he added.
