‘Spoilt’ Nollywood actress, Destiny Etiko has been spotted in photos as if she wanted to give veteran actress, Ngozi Ezeonu a piggyback ride.

In the photos displayed by Ezeonu on her twitter handle, Etiko shoved her butt towards her as if asking her to get on her back, with all smiles.

Ezeonu looked disturbed and captured the pictures: “Should I give up on this daughter of mine?”

Etiko, born on 12 August, 1989, is a graduate of Theatre Art  at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University.

She ventured into the Nigerian movie industry commonly known as Nollywood in 2011 and described her experience then as a difficult one because she had to combine her acting career with her school recruitment as she was still a student at the time.
