Apart from selling ‘okrika’, Madu was also spotted in an Enugu market to combine the trade with auctioning of his household wares to make ends meet.

‘Okirika’ in Nigeria serves as a broad term for second-hand or used clothing, a name derived from a tiny harbour city in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
The talented actor, who’s been absent from movie scenes for a while, was spotted in the viral video selling the second-hand clothes scattered on the floor.
The clip also showed the moment he arrived the market in his car and brought out a ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ sack which contained the clothes.
Following the video that has since gone viral, tongues have been wagging on the development as can be seen below:
–@brownskin_gift: “Bro is trying to make money, and you’re here making this video, for what to happen na? Abeg leave him to make his money. Man has to eat. Whether he was an actor or a BBNaija housemate. Let them be. They are human beings.”
–@organicoilplus: “It could be a movie, even if it is real, please, what is wrong with selling, why try to bring him to public ridicule?”
–@oingebuka: “Be like na only female actors dey make am for that industry.”
–@deewhowrites: “Please allow him to do his business in peace. God bless his hustle.”
–@disexy: “Men suffer the most in Nollywood, but the women are always successful because of Runz. May God bless his hustle.”
–@iam_cataliya: “A man who makes other means of income is king.”
@dumebi_odogwu: “I think he is dashing out those clothes.”
–@hairbalist.ng: “I stand for a man who is never ashamed to do what he has to do to make legit money to take care of his responsibilities.”
…As fellow actor, Ochendo reacts
Meanwhile, fellow actor, Mcsmith Ochendo, has spoken on the now-viral video of his colleague, Sylvester Madu allegedly spotted selling ‘okrika.’
–R-L: Ochendo and Madu
On Friday, a footage of Madu who’s been away from the movie scene for a while surfaced the internet.
He was spotted selling second-hand clothes scattered on the floor after he arrived at the market in his car and brought out a ‘Ghana-Must-Go’ sack that contained the clothing items.
Many expressed concern about the actor while others noted he may have possibly given up acting and ventured into a different line of business.
With differing reactions popping up following the emergence of the video, Ochendo appealed to the online community to ‘leave his brother alone’.
He suggested there was absolutely nothing wrong should Madu decide to attempt a different venture, so long as it was legit.
“Me wey don do NATIVE DOCTOR nko. Abeg make una leave my brother alone. Him no kill person,” he bellowed./SHARE THIS
