Apart from Ali Nuhu who is very active on facebook, other Kannywood celebrities hardly use the platform although many accounts exist in their names.
” Although the facebook is a great social media platform, there are accounts that bear our names that do not belong to us,” an actor Nuhu Abdullahi told PREMIUM TIMES. “So many of us do not give attention to Facebook because of that. We love and enjoy Instagram. It is simple, picture post and very interactive.”
Abdullahi said many of them also want to be verified by twitter and are thus using the platform more.
It is hoped that the actors will improve on their presence on the social media so as to compete with other famous celebrities who are rocking the platforms.
