Nollywood actor Baba Ijesha has drawn attention online after a video showed him braving a heavy downpour on the streets of Lagos to promote his latest movie.
In the footage, the actor could be seen moving around in the rain, approaching market women and passersby and appealing to them to watch his film.
Despite the uncomfortable weather, Baba Ijesha continued his promotional efforts, seemingly determined to get people interested in his latest project.
However, the unusual approach has not received the sympathy he may have hoped for, as some viewers questioned the intention behind the display.
The actor’s decision to promote his film in such conditions became a talking point, with some people viewing the scene as an attempt to use his difficult situation to attract public attention.
Rather than focusing on his determination to market the movie, critics reportedly interpreted the display as emotional blackmail.
