Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph reveals how she had to learn the hard way when
she found herself stranded and with no money at one of the airports recently.
She narrated the experience in an interview with Vanguard, “I never believed I
would have to ever beg for money in my entire life but it happened to me this
unforgettable and embarrassing day at the airport” she told me, looking
uncomfortable, like she was reliving the moment all over again. “Jesus, I was
so embarrassed. I was at the airport and needed to use the ATM, because I
didn’t have a dime on me. But for some reason the ATM didn’t work and I
couldn’t withdraw any money. This is after I had eaten at a restaurant at the
airport and needed to pay. I looked around to see if I could spot anyone I
know, until my instinct told me I had no choice but to beg. The mere thought of
it made me cringe with horror. Me, Nita, to beg? It was inconceivable and
unimaginable but it was the only reality staring me in the face or I had to
face bigger embarrassment from the restauranteurs,” she recalled coyly.
According to her, holding her breath, she approached a guy and to her utter
amazement the response she got left her even more breathless. “You mean you are
an actress and you don’t have any money on you and you depend on ATM. Na Wa for
una” the guy barked at her. “I was almost in tears and my flight was already
boarding. I approached another guy and told him the same story and what he said
was another shock to my soul. He asked me who I am and said ‘ are you doing
this? I told him I am a Nigerian actress but he replied that he doesn’t watch
Nigerian films. To my surprise he gave me the money and behold one of my movies
was showing at the lounge, she recounted bitterly.
