Ugezu Jideofor Ugezu, also known as Mr Surplus, a veteran Nollywood actor and filmmaker, has replied after a fan chastised him for using a phone for more than a year.
The perplexed actor took to Instagram today to narrate his encounter with the admirer who advised him that a star should not use the same phone for over a year.
The female admirer, according to the actor, wrote him a direct message asking him to replace his phone.
Ugezi expressed surprise at the message, noting that his phone is nearly three years old and still works flawlessly.
He wrote:
“So this lady actually came into my DM to say she noticed I have been using one phone for almost two years, that I should change the phone, that it is not befitting of a celebrity to use one phone for a year.”
He added;
“I am still shocked. I never told anyone I am a celebrity. I am actually a priest. The phone is even three years plus. Why must I change a phone still serving me perfectly? Wahala plenty for Nigeria.”
“Different people, different priorities.”
