Nigerian movie producer, Hope Omenihu Samuel has shared her perspective on the cause of the recent sudden deaths of Nollywood actors.
She said there has to be a change in the movie industry and it must adjust its attitude toward performers’ work ethics and give great attention to personal well-being.
The filmmaker who spoke during an interview with The Sun emphasised the need for actors to start taking good care of themselves
She said; “We need change. If I were put in charge, l would organize seminars on how to take care of ourselves while we are still strong. A lot of us work, work, and work without taking good care of ourselves and before long, we fall sick and begin to treat ourselves with our life’s savings, because of neglect over the years.
“We have to learn that even when we are working so hard, we can still take care of ourselves by eating and resting at the right time. People are dying and falling sick because of total disregard for their personal well-being. This is not right”.
No less than seven actors have died this year, namely; Sisi Quadri, Mr. Ibu, Amaechi Muonagor, Andy Best, Jumoke Aderounmu and Junior Pope.
