Nigerian artiste Paul Okoye a.k.a Rudeboy has advised his colleagues to try and invest their money in profitable ventures.
On his verified Instagram page, via his insta-stories Paul advises artistes to have investments while they are still trending in the industry and money is flowing in.
This advice stems from the increase in the number of actors in the entertainment industry whose health conditions are depreciating daily.
Following the recent situations of Mr. Ibu whom the public helped to raise funds for his medical bills, who ended up having his leg amputated and Ameachi Muonagor, whose cousin is appealing to the public to help due to a terminal illness; diabetes and stroke.
Paul Okoye implied that having an investment will save his colleagues from stories that touch the heart.
He wrote:
“Seriously a lot is going on in the industry including depression and all 000 But abeg if e reach your turn to shine ehh!!..abeg try to the invest… e no easy atall. AVOID STORY THAT TOUCHES Me sef don Taya to the hear stories E come be like na loose guard industry.”
