Junior Pope: Actor Ugezu explains Why actors die often
Veteran actor and filmmaker, Ugezu Ugezu, has given the reason why actors and actresses die often in the Nigerian movie industry.
This was in reaction to the recent deaths that rocked the industry.
Recall that in the last few months, Nollywood has lost Mr Ibu, Amaechi Muonagor, Sisi Quadri, Adejumoke Aderounmu, and the latest Junior Pope.
These deaths led some fans to suggest that the Nigerian movie industry may be under an unknown curse.
However, the actor, in a post he made on his Instagram page explained that other industries in the country also lose their members.
Ugezu said the difference between Nollywood death and other industries is that these actors are well known, blaming the surge of death in Nigeria on the systematic destruction of the health sector.
Ugezu wrote, “If only you knew how many bankers who kpai every week…if only you knew how many police officers who kpai every month…if only you knew how many pastors/priests who kpai every month…if only we had clear data on citizens that kpai monthly, we may settle down and understand the systematic destruction of the health sector.
“Entertainers are domiciled publicly and theirs go viral always. The time has come to expunge spiritualism from clear system failure. It is not just a Nollywood disaster as many allude.
“It is a general system disaster.”
