• According to her post, her wedding frame was used in a movie, and her face and that of her husband was cropped out
• The outburst has attracted the attention of social media users who shared their opinions on the issue

A Nigerian social media user went to the microblogging platform X to reveal what she had encountered online.

The X the user identified as @larabillionaire claimed her wedding photo was used in what looked like a Yoruba movie with her face cropped out. According to her, the faces of the Nollywood actors were photoshopped on theirs.

She shared the photo and mentioned trying to reach out to the movie writer but to no avail.

In Lara's words:

"Huge chunk of those in the Nigerian entertainment industry (and the whole country tbh) have an affinity for mediocrity. Shoddy attempt at creativity and just overall unprofessionalism. Cos why is my wedding picture in a movie with faces of the actors plastered on our faces?"
