Major Tension As The 9th Nollywood Actor Dies In 2019, Who Is Next?

While Nollywood was still mourning the death of the lead cast of one of Nigeria’s top comedy series, Do good, it has been reported that another actor, Dammy Eke is dead.

Prior to his demise, Dammy Eke was a Justice of Peace, JP, an Ambassador for Peace of UPA, and an actor. He unfortunately died five years after he lost his dad, the first civilian governor of Rivers State, King Frank Eke of Rivers State, King Frank Eke, who passed on at 83.

After the different deaths, strifes and calamities experienced in Nollywood last year, a great deal of Nollywood professionals have been praying such events will stop in this new year. Sadly, 2019 isn’t towing that line of expectation and as nine people’s lives have been already lost, and that’s even the ones that were officially recorded in the first quarter of the year!

Alarmingly, these film professionals who have unfortunately lost their lives this year are entirely youthful as their ages range between 30 years and 58 years.

More awful still, a large portion of the Nollywood stars have begun to cry out as they fight one ailment or the other and shockingly, they are destitute!

Fortunately, philantropists still exist and have been offering help to a portion of the veteran actors. One of such philantrophists is Reverend mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi.

Recall that the Yoruba on-screen character, Dayo Akinpelu aka Alabi Yellow received N10m from the General Overseer of Love of Christ Generational Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Clapham, London for his therapeutic treatment.Surprisingly enough, this act of kindness she exhibited was just weeks after she reached out to Baba Suwe and donated the same hefty sum.

Speaking for the Reverend Mother from the United Kingdom, Abiodun Pasheda was found in a video giving the money to the actor after revealing that Mother Ajayi had instructed him to give the veteran actor N10 million to deal with his health. The entertainer, who is battling stroke, expressed gratitude toward the Reverend Mother for her assistance.

Be that as it may, the inquiry remains, what can be done to reduce the death rate of these Nollywood actors who resort to looking for money when terminal illnesses hit them? An arm of the industry has been taking a shot at medical coverage programs yet while a portion of the actors embrace the idea, others aren’t sure of its plausibility. What is the solution?

May their souls continue to rest in peace. Please leave your comments below.

On the negative perception of the group and what attracted him, Meshioye said: “I wanted to understand my culture, to know why I am here.

This made me to begin to look within myself to know who I am and I extended this to what I have within my area.
