Popular comedian, Seyi Law has opened up on how entertainers fared under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Reacting to a troll, who commented on his photo and called him out for publicly supporting looters, the comedian noted that an impoverished nation makes it easier for entertainers to make more money as citizens seek other means of making themselves happy.

In his statement, Seyi Law said he did not buy a house under former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration but did under the current administration .

Hear him: “One of the reasons, I didn’t disclose my Presidential vote is because of some ignorant people. If I said I voted Atiku, they will say I wanted looting to come back like this one right here and if I said it was Buhari, many we would say I am supporting poverty.
Every administration comes with it’s own mistakes. During Jonathan’s term, I was comfortable because I believed spotlight was on entertainment and the industry grew, but a few benefited massively. Buhari’s tenure brought more money to the business, but outside poverty put a lot of pressure on entertainers and many capitalised on it doing giveaways to gather more followers.

I decided to help secretly in Dms and some of the beneficiaries can attest as I believe poverty shouldn’t be used as a tool for fame. People’s dignity must be protected even if some lack respect in themselves.
I have congent reasons to vote Buhari and also have enough to vote Atiku as the other candidates are not even ready yet. In all, I voted my choice and did you vote yours? Let’s learn to learn from each rather than attacking ourselves over people more concerned about themselves.

The Buhari you are fighting for doubted his wife’s loyalty so who are you please. From unverified source, they claimed Atiku lost at home, do you know him more than his people?
Minding your business and self will guarantee better living. Next lever or getting Nigeria working again, the most important thing is a BETTER NIGERIA for Nigerians.
God bless you.”

Comedian and actor, Seyi Law recently caused a stir on social media when he posted a message stating that he and his wife had gone their separate ways.

In a chat with Punch, Seyi Law noted that after the prank, ladies, about 50 of them, did not wait for the dust to settle before wooing him with text messages.

According to him: “I was going to the UK to visit my wife and promote my show as well. While I was on the plane, I just had that weird idea. I was curious about what people’s reaction would be if they heard that Seyi Law was no longer married. I knew that if I was going to test it, I had to be sarcastic and witty about it.

“That was why I put some words in a way that people would not pay attention to (what I was doing). Apparently, they didn’t pay attention to the details; I tried to play with words in that post. Interestingly, the incident showed me that people love and appreciate my family; I also learnt that bad news travels faster (than good news).

“I thank God for a good and understanding wife; I didn’t take permission from her before playing that prank. When she saw it, she couldn’t reach me because I was still on the plane. People had been calling her repeatedly. Also, when I landed, my phone rang repeatedly. I called her to explain things to her immediately we saw each other.

“She said I should have carried her along because she didn’t know what to tell people when they called her. My wife is my number one critic; that is the beautiful thing about my marriage,” he said.
