Popular Nollywood actor, Don Richard, has appealed to Nigerians for help following his struggle with kidney disease.
Naija News reports that the film star made the plea on Tuesday evening in a video shared on Instagram by his colleague, Biola Adebayo.
Speaking in the video, Richard disclosed that he has sold his house and car to cover his medical expenses.
He said, “When my wife was told about my health, she started crying. And I told her that ‘another man is a lucky man.’ I begged her to take good care of my children (twins).
“Immediately she left the hospital, she went to dispose of our house and car for my treatment. I have nothing left anymore.”
Sharing his account details, Biola Bayo wrote, “Don Richard has been down with a kidney in a while.”
Meanwhile, Nigerian actor Chinedu Okeke has reacted to reports that he left the movie industry due to being regularly cast as an armed robber.
Naija News reports that the actor, known for his roles in action-packed Nollywood films like Issakaba, Peace Maker, Shina Rambo, and V-Boot, spoke during a recent interview.
The rumour, which started earlier this year, claimed that Chinedu grew tired of playing roles involving crime and violence and had begged filmmakers for lighter characters.
It was also alleged that he left Nollywood because people began seeing him as a criminal in real life due to the kinds of roles he played.
Reacting to the report, Chinedu said he never made such comments and had no reason to complain about the very roles that brought him fame.
He said he is still very much interested in acting and is open to playing any character, including romantic ones.
He used the opportunity to call on producers to reach out to him for fresh roles, adding that he is available and ready to return to the screen in full force.
