Lala-Akindoju noted that the program is not an opportunity to get trained and as such upcoming acts should not fall for it.

"What is wrong with this guy? He has been called out severally. I think the leadership of the @actorsguildNg should place a disclaimer on him. No one should pay to be auditioned for a role. It is obtaining by trick! It is robbery! @emekarollas1@segunarinzeaina@Monalisacode"
