Ruby Ojiakor, a prominent Nollywood actress, is facing criticism for her approach to gifting money to children on the streets.
Ruby Ojiakor posted a video on Instagram showing her act of kindness by throwing money on the street while children scrambled to pick it up.
Fans have responded to the video, suggesting that Ruby should have distributed the money to the children in a more organized and respectful manner, instead of throwing it haphazardly.
Some have even labeled her actions as reminiscent of a “village girl mentality.”

‘Only desperate actresses sleep with producers for roles’ – Ruby Ojiakor calls out colleagues
Ruby Ojiakor recently opined that only those who are desperate for fame in the movie industry, allow themselves to be used by randy producers to satisfy their sexual urge.
The single mother of one made this known in a recent interview when she was asked her take on the issue of sexual harrasment going on in her industry.
She said: “It is good when an actress is talented and knows what she is doing. Many of the girls that prefer to sleep with filmmakers are not that good at what they do. They are just desperate, want to become overnight stars. If one is not desperate and one keeps praying to God, one will get movie roles, even if one does not sleep with filmmakers. The filmmakers will not have any option in such a case because the person is good. It is important for actresses to always work on themselves. Once they do so, they will always get jobs. I still get calls despite turning down sexual advances from producers.”
Ruby Ojiakor also recalled her ugly encounter with a randy producer who wanted to get down with her for a movie role.
