Shade Ladipo tells Ruth Kadiri to stop being bitter over award snub

Ladipo says people will only be celebrated when they celebrate the achievements of others.

Nigerian media personality Shade Ladipo has advised actress Ruth Kadiri to stop being bitter over award snub.

The media girl made this known via her Instagram Stories on Thursday, April 15, 2020.

"For the actress (atink it was Ruth Kadiri because there are so many 'actresses' now) who didn't get recognised this year. Remember that last year there was no platform to even be recognised so instead of being bitter, be better now there is a platform and maybe next year will be your year or maybe not," she wrote.

"Let's give Mo Abudu her flowers while she is alive abeg. Every platform this woman has, she uses to celebrate women constantly. Celebrate with others and maybe they will celebrate with you."
