Movie producer Hope Omenihu Samuel has shed light on the reasons behind the sudden deaths of many Nollywood actors.
Speaking with The Sun, Hope expressed her concerns over the recent spate of tragic events in the industry.
In her words:
“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,”
She emphasized the need for Nollywood to reassess its approach to actors’ professionalism, even if it means compromising their health and safety.
