We have just been informed about the ill health of Veteran Nollywood Actor, Elder Maya, who is presently languishing in pain because of an ailment he is battling with.
Reports gathered says that Elder Maya, who is arguably the longest surviving Nigerian actor, is down with a liver-related problem as the actor is down with a swollen leg, which we gathered causes pain to him too.
“The man has not been acting for a while now because of his condition and our people (Nollywood actors) have not shown interest in the old man. They are probably waiting for him to die before they started shedding crocodile tears they are well known for,” an actor said on Friday.
We gathered that a passionate call has been made to well-meaning Nigerians to contribute to saving Elder Maya.
The old man is well known for his village chief priest’s roles he acts in movies, which he interprets very well. He is believed to be over 100 years
I am extremely touched by this sad news, but the elderly pa dignity must be appreciated and respected, his body is not to be exposed in such an intimidating manner. I am happy to contribute as little as I can towards his treatment. Gina.
