Even since he was diagnosed with the disease he said he has spent close to 50 million Nigerian currency from his account and little donations from friends and family has also been helpful.
“I’ve gone to so many places; within the country, outside the country for treatment, until finally…finally, the thing [diabetes] claimed one of my sight. As I look at you now, I’m using only one sight. They call that glaucoma. And gradually, it’s affecting the other one [eye]. So, naim make, apart from places…the people who call me atimes, both the little cash they can give me…drugs and all that…but I discovered that this thing [the illness] is a lifetime something.
And it has robbed me of the job [acting]. And now, if I get a script, it will be hard for me to read it very well. And if I read it, if I strain my eyes for so long, it would look as if someone would lead me around the house or anywhere I want to go because it will affect the only one [eye]. So that’s my problem.”
When asked if the Nollywood board have come to his aid, he said
" they only came and took a recipe from my close friends when I admitted in a hospital and had a eye surgery. The Hollywood board took the recipe and up to date I have not set eyes from them nor heard from them. " the veteran actor disclosed that he was worried because why should the Hollywood board take a recipe that has already been paid and refuse to bring it back.
The actor said he needs the help of kind-hearted Nigerians because he has been referred to a US-based hospital where he is required to have N3.5million.
So far he has about N200,000.
