Ailing actor, Tunde Alabi’s leg reportedly amputated in Lagos hospitalBy Danielle Ogbeche on October 22, 2016
Despite his plea to well-meaning Nigerians to come to his rescue, legendary Nollywood actor, Tunde Alabi, who has been battling an ailment at the Lagos General Hospital, got his leg amputated.

His right leg was reportedly amputated on Thursday.

Recall that the ‘Village Headmaster’ actor, had been battling diabetes for years with no treatment because of lack of money and had been lying critically ill with one of his legs set for amputation in order to save his life.

While Alabi had called on Nigerians to support him, saying he did not want to die, renowned actor and movie director, Paul Julius, among others, had urged well-meaning Nigerians to come to the actor’s aid financially.

According to Yoruba Movie Gist, YMG, doctors advised that the leg be cut off so it won’t affect other parts of his body.

'So sad! Our Veteran Actor's foot finally AMPUTATED.....I've laboured through thick and thin to save the life of Uncle Tunde....assisted vigorously by the indefatigable Chairman of Actors Guild of Nigeria, Lagos State Chapter, Mr. DON PEDRO AGANBI and through the contributions of a few spirited colleagues and fans, we were only able to manage to keep him alive but not with his full body as our once vibrant UNCLE TUNDE ALABI loses his right foot today at General Hospital, Lagos to Diabetes Mellitus. Now he's faced with another battle for survival.....Expensive drugs required to heal the amputated leg......no home to return, no money to afford one as his ailment has suck up his entire finances. We have done our best... ...What would you rather do to assist him....just put something in his account no matter how small and the Lord will reward you abundantly. Thank you.

What's happening to nollywood actors



Too many ugly news
What's up with their guild?

I sometimes wonder the kind of celebrities we have in Nigeria that don't know the importance of helping their colleagues that are in dire need of help.

Not even 1naira for all dz Emeka ike, omotola jolade et al...

Wat a life

What's it with all our Old nollywood actors having illnesses or mysterious deaths?

Its well

The actors are poor while the actresses are rich.

This life ehn... hmm dis life is a skul

So sorry

Memorial Hospital

In that seriel, he acted as a patient in the hospital throughout back then in the early 90s. 1900-1992

I REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT OUR MINISTERIES OF CULTURE AND TOURISM BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL ARE DOING IN THIS COUNTRY


There should have are implemented a Trust Fund for artist welfare from those who contributed to the development of art and culture from the 1960 - 2000 This was the period we had wonderful talents that helped showcase Nigeria culture but unfortunately there was little money.paid to these people.

From Actors and Actresses, Musicians, Script Writers, Poets, Cultural Groups, and others. We fail to always appreciate people when they are alive only to start crying fowl after they have passed away.


Who will ever believe the likes of Samuel Okwaraji, Dosu Joseph, Chinua Achiebe, Rashidi Yekini, Sam Loco Efe and the likes won't till today have National recognition and a trust fund for their children's education. What a big shame.

if its displaying wealth online and the media u will see them...now help a colleague all of them isolated him.
