Popular Nollywood actor Nosa Rex disclosed on Tuesday that he would have left social media if not for the money he is making from the platform.
The actor, while lamenting the toxicity of social media, noted that aside from making money off social media, it also plays a vital role in alleviating depression.
News About Nigeria reports that the actor said this in light of recent drama surrounding the marriage of popular Nollywood actress Sharon Ooja, who tied the knot with her lover, Ugo Nwoke, over the weekend.
Recall that the internet went agog after Sharon, who had hidden the face of her man from social media, unveiled him on the day of their traditional wedding.
While many were still gushing over how good her man looked, a blogger, Stella Dimokokorkus, made the shocking revelation that marrying Sharon makes it the fourth time Ugo was getting married.
Her revelation made netizens dig up pictures and other proofs from Ugo’s previous marriages.
In a post shared on his Instagram account, the actor urged his fans and followers to safeguard their happiness, warning that social media is toxic and harmful.
