Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Bolaji Ogunmola, has called out an airline after being stranded at the airport in Ekiti State for over 24 hours due to multiple flight cancellations and rescheduling.\n<\/p>\n
In an emotional video shared via her Instagram page on Thursday morning, the visibly distraught actress revealed that she had been stuck at the airport since Wednesday, missing the first day of production for her film project, which reportedly cost over N20 million.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m still at the airport, by the way, and I\u2019ve cried my eyes out this morning. I\u2019m in Ekiti. I\u2019m still here because I\u2019m on set this morning, and it\u2019s the first day of TOC\u2019s production. I have actors on set. I booked restaurant. I booked everything, and I\u2019m still here. I spent over 15, 20 million trying to produce this film,\u201d Ogunmola stated in the video.\n<\/p>\n
The actress explained that her ordeal began on Wednesday when she arrived at the airport for her scheduled flight to Lagos, only to be told the flight was delayed and eventually cancelled.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was supposed to fly yesterday, and they told me when I got to the airport that something happened. It was delayed. I waited, waited, waited. After a while, they said they are not flying again and cancelled the flight. I said, okay, you cancelled the flight. What is the plan? I need to get to Lagos,\u201d she recounted.\n<\/p>\n
After spending the night at a motel, Ogunmola returned to the airport on Thursday morning at 6:30 am for a rescheduled 8:00 am flight, only to face further disappointments.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said they are going to fly 8 am this morning. I woke up at 5 am, got to the airport by 6:30. They said it\u2019s not for 8 am again. It\u2019s for 9:30. Now, the 9:30 flight, they said they have moved it to 12. Now, they are saying the flight is going to move by 5:30, and I\u2019m supposed to be on set,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The filmmaker expressed frustration at the airline\u2019s lack of communication and the impact on her production crew who were already on set waiting for her.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we speak, my crew, production, everything \u2014 it\u2019s our first day at work. It\u2019s not only my time that these people are toying with. It\u2019s actually my source of livelihood as well. There is no conversation. Everybody just says sorry to me. What am I supposed to do? I\u2019m literally stuck here,\u201d Ogunmola lamented. <\/p>\n
The actress announced her decision to travel by road, despite safety concerns, to make it to her production set in Lagos.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI have to go by road, which is very unsafe, but I need to get to work. My lawyers will take this up. I just needed to have evidence of what is going on. They are not remorseful. They are unfair. They don\u2019t have any sense of decency,\u201d she stated.\n<\/p>\n
Ogunmola clarified that she was not making the video to cause drama but to document her experience for legal purposes.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not the person to call out anybody. I\u2019m not going to shout. I\u2019m not going to fight. I don\u2019t do that, but I just need to have evidence,\u201d she added.\n<\/p>\n
