You’re not a good celebrity if your life does not motivate other people – Foluke Daramola

Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola says celebrities have a task to “always remain responsible” for their lives to motivate others who look up them.

Foluke elaborated on Instagram Friday that no matter how famous one can be, their status would not matter when they fizzle out because “new stars are born everyday” while “old stars die everyday.”

According to her, being a celebrity should not always be about just flaunting wealth on social media and that any public figure who cannot impact lives positively is not a good celebrity.

Foluke maintained that “a celebrity does not necessarily need to impress others with his lifestyles and achievements always, but to inspire others also to purposeful greatness”

Her post comes just two days after the EFCC Confirmed the arrest of Dubai-based Nigerian businessman Richard Mompha – known for his lavish lifestyle and taste for expensive cars –  for alleged internet fraud and money laundering.

“No matter how good and popular you think you are as a celebrity, you cannot always be the star of the moment. Old stars will always fizzle out someday and new ones will always arise for the gracing of the prevalent moments,” wrote Foluke.

“New stars are born everyday and old stars die everyday. The most important thing, however, is that one must always remain a responsible celebrity, who can impact lives positively, and one people must always look up to as a good role model for motivation to rise to their own stardom or live responsibly to achieve their set goals for life.

“A celebrity is not a good celebrity, if his life cannot always motivate other people to aspire for the best they deserve from life. A celebrity does not necessarily need to impress others with his lifestyles and achievements always, but to inspire others also to purposeful greatness”

According to the EFCC, “actionable cross border intelligence received from collaborative law enforcement agencies about his alleged involvement in the criminal activities further strengthened our suspicion”

In a statement, the anti-graft agency said Mompha has volunteered useful information to the operatives and has admitted to being reasonably involved in the crimes.
