Nollywood actor Damola Olatunji has expressed pride in his colleague, Nkechi Blessing, following her public apology to Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners of Nigeria, TAMPAN, and its president, Bolaji Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, at the entertainment awards in Canada.
The internet was thrown into a frenzy when Nkechi Blessing knelt to acknowledge her errors to the TAMPAN publicly. She sought the forgiveness of the leaders and pleaded that her ban in the industry be lifted.
After this, Damola Olatunji shared the viral clip on his page, acknowledging the actress’s humility and courage.
Olatunji stated that it took courage for the actress to apologise for her wrongs, and he loves her for doing so. At the same time, he warmly welcomed Nkechi Blessing to the TAMPAN association.
He wrote on Instagram, “It takes a courageous person to apologise in the public.I LOVE YOU FOR DOING THIS. welcome back home my super talented baby gal. Nkechi Blessing @tampanglobal @tampanguilddirectors @mrlatin1510.”
Hitgist recalls that in 2021, Nkechi Blessing and Iyabo Ojo openly condemned the conduct of Baba Ijesha for allegedly defiling the foster daughter of Nigerian comedienne Princess, which the association wasn’t pleased with.
They had also clashed with some TAMPAN members, such as Yomi Fabiyi and Lege Maimi, who kicked against them for openly condemning Baba Ijesha.
In punishment for their online drama, veteran actor Jide Kosoko took action against them and barred directors in the association from working with them.
Nkechi Blessing reacted by mocking the association’s decision, stating they threatened to frustrate people who could feed their entire generation until the end. She went on to call the association one of lawlessness.
