In a viral video shared on his Instagram page, Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has warned fans against begging for money in his direct messages (DMs).
The 45-year-old actor expressed his frustration in the video, saying that people have turned his DM into a "bank of industry." He said that he is constantly bombarded with requests for money, from small amounts to large sums.
Ikedieze said that he understands that people are struggling financially, but he cannot help everyone. He said that he has his own responsibilities to take care of, and he cannot afford to give money to everyone who asks.
He urged fans to stop begging for money and to find other ways to make ends meet. He said that there are many resources available to help people in need, and there is no need to resort to begging.
