Popular Nigerian comedian and filmmaker, Ayo Makun, has shared a thought-provoking message about the realities of living as a successful figure among everyday neighbors.
In a post on social media, AY reflected on how fame and achievement often attract mixed reactions from those around. “Living as a public figure or successful achiever in a neighborhood exposes you to two types of people,” he wrote. “Those who are genuinely happy for you… and those who quietly resent your success.”
He urged fellow celebrities to “choose your battles wisely,” reminding them that “not every opinion deserves your energy.” Makun concluded with a message of encouragement: “Keep shining — your light will guide the right ones and blind the wrong ones.”
