Popular Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, has recounted her most embarrassing moment.
Anita narrated how she was stranded financially at the airport and the ATM was malfunctioning, which forced her to resort to begging money to pay for a meal she had ordered.
Speaking with Vanguard, the busty actress said, “I never believed I would have to ever beg for money in my entire life but it happened to me this unforgettable and embarrassing day at the airport. I was so embarrassed.
“I was at the airport and needed to use the ATM, because I didn’t have a dime on me. But for some reason the ATM didn’t work and I couldn’t withdraw any money. This is after I had eaten at a restaurant at the airport and needed to pay. I looked around to see if I could spot anyone I know, until my instinct told me I had no choice but to beg.
“The mere thought of it made me cringe with horror. Me, Nita, to beg? It was inconceivable and unimaginable but it was the only reality staring me in the face or I had to face bigger embarrassment from the restaurateurs.
“I approached a guy and to my utter amazement, the response I got left me even more breathless. ‘You mean you are an actress and you don’t have any money on you and you depend on ATM. Na Wa for una’,” she said the guy barked at her.
The actress continued, “I was almost in tears and my flight was already boarding,” Anita continued, adding that “I approached another guy and told him the same story and what he said was another shock to my soul. He asked me who I am and said ‘ are you doing this? I told him I am a Nigerian actress but he replied that he doesn’t watch Nigerian films.
“To my surprise he gave me the money and behold one of my movies was showing at the lounge,” she said, noting that it is not a wise thing to rely solely on the ATM as it could fail at any given time.
