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 film maker,
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.”
