She emphasized the need for regular medical check-ups and encouraged her colleagues to eliminate harmful habits that jeopardize their health.
“Some people are careless and prefer to visit chemists or pharmacies instead of hospitals when they’re sick. It’s no longer safe with me.”

“I broke down in tears when I called his name and he didn’t respond. It hit me that he’s truly gone forever.”
Her words serve as a wake-up call to the Nollywood industry, urging actors to prioritize their health and well-being. By speaking out, Mama G hopes to create a safer and healthier environment for her colleagues.
