The ailing actor was once quoted in an interview soliciting for financial assistance from well-spirited Nigerians to take care of his health.
“Nigerians should help me. Everything needed for me to be in a healthy state requires money.

He noted that though he had not gotten enough help, he would not cast aspersions on associations in the industry. He said, “Everyone has different things they are battling with. I don’t want it to seem like I am insulting members of our association of actors.
“Though I did not get the kind of support I would have wanted, some individuals called me to greet me once in a while. I don’t blame them because they are going through different things,” the veteran Actor had said
