A popular Nollywood actor, Ernest Asuzu was on Sunday sighted at Shoprite in Surulere area of Lagos begging for money. Asuzu who suffered stroke sometimes ago, wore a Manchester United jersey, blue jean trouser and a bathroom slippers begging for money. According to a report, the actor, disclosed that the president of Actors Guild, Ibinabo Fiberesima alongside other actors have been briefed on his predicament but have continued to turned deaf ears to his appeal for assistance.
Quote
According to Daily Independent, Azuzu suffered from stroke not too long ago. "I was in LASUTH for two months, three days and for that long, nobody from Nollywood, not even Ibinabo Fiberesima, visited me. And she heard that I was admitted there. My friends told her that I was down with stroke and she pretended as if she didn’t hear. It’s not fair. I’m a human being too" he said.
“I am limping right now, because I have stroke. I am limping because my people don’t care. I’m limping because the industry is already messed up. I don’t know what Ibinabo is doing. Ibinabo is just gallivanting. She is having fun and that is not the reason we put her there. She should go out there and fight for our people" he further said.

Lets get serious, i always surprised whenever i hears news like this from any Nollywood actor or actress seeking public attention or assistance are you people acting or playing a role for free which i believed in FREE now we all know the fake life that you people lives, when you have little money to invest so you can save for the raining day you will only be going holiday in Paris, Dubai, Yankee, for what, to see you as star or celebrity with cheap and fake live. Abeg make una pack well if i hear say anyone of you Nollywood i say posting rubbish or tweeting una go hear more from me. Fake Celebrities under my foot.

It one of them dies after being sick for some time,nollywood will say they were not aware the person was sick like they did to Muna Obiekwe.James Uche has been lying sick for years and claiming that nollywood abandoned him,now is Asusu.I am not saying you should give aid to your colleques if you don't want to ,but you should stop telling us that you were not aware of the person's sickness if he or she dies.

My heart goes out to you! But what is she suppose to do? Most of the actors are graduates so I believe that they've heard of health insurance. Lesson to all, save guard your future now instead of buying latest & expensive designer's wears.

Come to think of it, all the Nollywood members keep complaining that they don't get support in hard times. How much help did Asuzu give others when they needed him ?. One good turns deserves another. They should mend their house.
