In the space
of a month, at least four actors have died in Nollywood, the most recent being
Moji Olaiya. No doubt, this is currently a sad time for the movie industry.
However, in
a chat with ace actor and filmmaker, Muyiwa Ademola, he revealed the leading
cause of death among actors.
According to
him, most of these deaths are caused by accumulated stress and could be avoided
if one takes care of the body.
He said, “A
very big problem we have in our industry is that we work round the clock, we
spend nights at movie locations but we don’t go for medical check-up. I have a
doctor and I go for medical check-up every three weeks. I know when to take
some days off work.
“For
instance, if I work for about two weeks, I take a few days off to relax. I
would just eat and rest. I also make sure I go on vacations and all I do in
those times is just to eat and sleep. Most of the deaths in the movie industry
are a result of accumulated stress without paying attention to one’s health.”
