Others offered prayers and also corrected Emmanuel for mentioning only a few industry practitioners.
In his words:
“I am with legendary Nollywood actor Ifeanyi Ezeokeke, known as Ugo Shave in Conspiracy and many other movies. He has been down for 19 years. He has not really gone to the hospital because of poverty. This environment is not okay; we want to build a small house for them so they won’t suffer. His mother has iron in her leg; she was hit by a car, and his father passed away in the process.”
