“How My Colleagues Influenced Youths To Engage In R!tual K!llings”- Actress Ifemeludike Reveals

Nollywood actress, Ifemeludike has blamed her colleagues and musicians for most of th ritual killings by youths in Nigeria.

The actress stated that most celebrities show off properties and wealth which doesn’t correlate with their income, also the kind of music being sung by Nigerian artistes is mounting undue pressure on the youths.

“The expensive and luxurious lifestyle that doesn’t correlate with your income that you entertainers show off have also directly or indirectly influenced these young ones”

Actress Ifemeludike also added:

“Let’s even talk about our musical contents, the lyrics some of what y’all musicians are promoting is mounting undue pressure on these kids, gone are they days when meaningful songs from the likes of Onyeka Onwenu, (late) Chief Stephen Osita Osadebe, (Late) Legendary Fela Anikulapo kuti etc. these were international award winning musicians who used every opportunity to teach impact society positively through their music (some even after death) but fast forward today you hear lyrics like “if you no get money hide your face” 🤷🏾‍♀️… Nollywood movies haven’t necessarily promoted rituals but in my opinion,I think the problem here is the narrative circulated through these storylines that human blood(sacrifice) can make money start raining in a secret room or inside a wardrobe… Can human sacrifice truly produce wealth? and even if it does same Nollywood have shown in many storylines the consequences and repercussions of taking another persons life. The short and long story here is, “an idle man is the devil’s workshop”! Government must, as a matter of urgency,engage and empower our youth.”
