It is a shame for him to even be saying this at his age. Having displayed his status herein without having to think about his future when he was young goes to show that he wasted his youthfulness and should have himself to blame.

Is even a disgrace to be telling the world that he is homeless now. During his time, with just N100, he would have gotten a land to build a house. Maybe he was living from hotel to hotel enjoying himself and now that he is old, he has nothing to show.

Too bad.

How is such a man like this homeless?
After lecturing at the highest level, receiving National Honours and getting to the apex of his career.

Why does he not have a roof over his head?

Irresponsibility!

Unlike what is obtainable today, artist then were making peanuts! No $1m sign on fees, no glo/mtn endorsement, no millions of naira movie sales. Those guys where generally living hand to mouth, not until recently, early 90s, when things improved. How many homes owned video players not to talk of satellite tv?

They did it then, because of passion, not for any monetary gains.

That is never an excuse for misfortune and not be used as yardstick because "a fool at 40 is always a fool"

I am speechless but I must comment.
Many would be asking how this man used his money when things were rosy. Sometimes, things might turn upside down that we won't be able to figure it out. My prayer is God should send helper to this man and thanks to MTN for helping him.

May we younger ones never experience this when we get to our old age.

He might be an adjunct lecturer, adjunct lecturer aren't fulltime lecturers. They won't pay him pension.

During the guy's time...Nigerian actors got poorly paid.

Even now....most Nollywood actors don't earn much.

He did not say when he was a lecturer....but if it was in the pre-2001 era....he won't have earned much. Lecturers were poorly paid back then.

Also....as someone has said upthread....actors of his era did not earn much.Even now...Nollywood is not a rich setup.

Bros! I don't like what ur saying o! angry angry angry "earn much! Earn much!!" How much is enough?
How much was fuel/lit then and how much is it now?

Was he doing it for free?

What about the life of Chika Okpara
(Zebrudaya) etc, is he also that homeless?

Richness is not by how much given to you but the state of your mentality.

I agree. But let's not forget they were not well-paid in those days and he probably was not a full time lecturer entitled to pension.
And I do like that he is not displaying the spirit of entitlement like most Nigerians.

Hope he spends the 1m judiciously Sha. At the end of the day, it's not a lot of money. Remove 1naira, it is no longer 1m.

Being an actor or actress is not a good profession. You can not become a boss. U will still be directed by young men and women while being paid survival money as contract fee.


Very true, Igbo traders kept many of them alive in the first 10 years of Nollywood. The traders produced most of the films and paid their salaries.

My brother. . . Those big houses and cars he used on screen those days. I thought he owned them.
You see, when you act so well about riches it affects it self perception. You may begin to see urself as rich, just the way others see you and you may begin to carry urself as such, spend to keep pace when in fact you are very very poor. Remember life is harsh and nature indifferent.
