Remember Michael Duro, the ailing Nollywood actor?

Michael died on Tuesday.

His colleague and filmmaker, Stanleyontop, confirmed the news to this reporter on Thursday.

Michael had been away from active acting for several years due to his deteriorating health. The illness led to the amputation of one of his legs, after which he publicly appealed for assistance with medical care and a prosthetic limb.

In 2024, despite his challenges, Michael appealed to producers to continue casting him.

In 2022, he received financial support from Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin, who donated ₦5 million towards his treatment, though his condition worsened.

Michael appeared in several Nollywood movies, including Midnight Love (2003) and The Guilty (2006).

May his soul rest in peace!

This man could be very funny in movies back then. God rest his soul. We have lost so many good Nollywood actors. I remember Sam Loco Efe, Fabian Adibe, Pete Eneh, John Okafor, JT Tom West, Muna Obiekwe, Dede One Day, Amaechi Muonagor, and a host of others.

Rip to a legendary actor.


Another great lost to d industry

This is sad. Many Nollywood actors go through stuff unbeknown to the public. They need serious financial advise on how to manage their earnings and other issues incluidng health.

May his soul rest in peace
Amen

This man back then he like to play the role of cooperate 419 esp him with osofia

Nollywood is one of the biggest promoters of the Nigerian brand across Africa and beyond.
That industry has created tens of thousands of jobs that the government couldn't create for its people.Yet, these people do all this without government support.

In America, the US government is the backbone of the Hollywood that the world knows today. In Nigeria, the government doesn't give moviemakers grants or have life insurance schemes for ailing actors who have entertained us for years.

Every day, we keep hearing news about tax, tax and more tax. What's the usefulness of a government that cannot cater to the needs of its people? Just like his good friend, Buhari, Tinubu is a monumental failure of unparalleled proportions!

Rest in Power ...

In this life you come N you go

No more

Could that be diabetes?

May his soul rest in peace 🙏🏾.

To age dey scare person. Old age and illness.
May we all grow old in good health

Rest in peace.

It's really sad seeing our actors end this way.

I remember him.


RIP sir.

Jerry couldn't heal him with miracle water? And the author is even so wicked he said after jerry gave him N5m his condition worsened. What a wicked world. May his gentle and creative soul rest in peace.

People keep asking, "why the men?"
Top question!
The devil needs the women more than they need him to do his job effectively and efficiently.
The men are always negligent and careless.
You can ask Eve.
As for the men?
He just wants them out of the way.
Don't ask me why; it's a spiritual thing.

Artists should have something to fall back into later in life.

Becoming a Producer can lengthen their career however.

Stop the crap the US government has nothing to do with Hollywood. America is capitalist country, government only make law that enable different businesses to thrive. You people will blame Tinubu for everything even for your own mistakes.

Saw a picture of his final moments, his body was literally wasted by the disease, he shrunk to a skeleton. It was like something out of a horror movie.

Despite The Abundance Of Resources In Nigeria, The Government Of Nigeria Cannot Provide Free And Quality Healthcare For Its Entertainment Celebrities Talk Less Of Its Common People.


The Worse Part Of It All Is That Nigerians Are So Divided That They Cannot Unite To Hold Their Representatives In Government Positions Responsible For Providing Good Healthcare Systems In Nigeria.
