Nollywood actress and producer Ariyo Oluwakemisola Apesin, aka Kemity, has called out traders who inflate prices simply because they are selling to celebrities.
The actress described the act as a form of corruption.
During a recent chat with The Nation, the film star expressed concern over the unfair treatment public figures often receive in the marketplace and urged Nigerians to be more sincere in their dealings.
“We can do better as Nigerians. Traders must stop inflating prices because they are selling to celebrities. That’s part of corruption,” she said.
Kemity, known for her down-to-earth personality and impactful roles on screen, stressed the need for collective responsibility in tackling everyday issues that contribute to the nation’s challenges.
“If you’re selling something for one hundred Naira and you sell it to a celebrity for one thousand Naira, that’s corruption. We can only help ourselves by doing better,” she added.
