Nollywood actress and producer Bolaji Ogunmola has slammed an airline for repeated flight cancellations that left her stranded at Ekiti airport, disrupting a major film shoot and causing both financial and emotional strain. In an emotional Instagram live video, Ogunmola recounted how the airline’s repeated delays threatened her livelihood and forced her to consider travelling by road despite safety concerns. “I have cried my eyes out this morning. I am still in Ekiti,” she said. “I have actors on set, I have booked restaurants, and I am still here.” She was scheduled to fly from Ekiti to Lagos a day earlier to attend the first day of shooting for her new movie. However, the flight was initially delayed and later cancelled without explanation. “I was supposed to fly yesterday, but they said something happened and the flight was delayed. Later, they told me it was cancelled,” Ogunmola explained. She asked for alternative arrangements, and the airline assured her a flight at 8 a.m. the next day. When she arrived at the airport by 6:30 a.m., the flight was postponed multiple times—from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., then to 12 p.m., and finally 5 p.m. “This is very painful because they could have just sent a message,” she said. The delays have already caused significant losses, with Ogunmola revealing she has spent between 15 and 20 million naira on the production. “My crew and cast are already on set for the first day of shooting, and I am stuck here,” she added. Ogunmola also expressed concern for her safety, saying she might have to travel by road. “I am literally stuck in a state where I don’t know anybody,” she said. She accused the airline staff of showing no empathy or remorse. “They have toyed with my time and my livelihood. They are unfair and inhumane,” she said. Ogunmola revealed that she plans to take legal action and recorded the live video as evidence of her ordeal. “My lawyers are going to handle this. I made this video so I can have proof,” she said.   View this post on Instagram
