Nollywood actor Sylvester Madu has reacted to a viral video showing him selling items at a market, saying he is not disturbed by the backlash the clip has generated online.
The video, which was reportedly filmed by an unidentified passerby, shows the actor attending to customers and displaying his goods for sale.
It quickly circulated across social media, triggering mixed reactions. While some people expressed surprise that a well-known actor would be involved in petty trading, others praised him for his hustle.
Addressing the situation in a video shared online, Madu brushed off the criticism, insisting that there is dignity in every honest form of work, regardless of one’s public status.
He further revealed that he had travelled to London to restock his merchandise and plans to continue his trading business when he returns.
