And where are those arrogant actors and actresses who flaunt expensive jewelries, clothes, bags, cars, houses & lifestyle like crazy? They can’t even help or pray for their colleagues. Na wao! Its really sad. May God help Tunde in Jesus name. Amen
They re all the same. They will not assist themselves because its only God that knows the source or sources of their money.
My sister, it’s so disheartening. So bad
Yes ooo only God knows d source of dia money dey dnt help each other at all only to show dia expensive bag. Shoe, weave on, car and house. Dat how elder Maya died recently no help, now Leo mezie is sick two kidneys has failed need help no response frm any and wen dem die u will see all of dem at stadium doin candle night pretending even pouring out crocodile tears yeye full dia yansh
Well spoken my dear. It’s so terrible. I wonder if they ever read the scriptures to know that all is vanity upon vanity. I really felt for Elder Maya. May his soul rest in peace. Leo is going through extreme hardship and pains & all i see is a heartless group of fake colleagues. God will judge them
This Nigeria movie industry, it is like the witches and witchcraft in there are so much, they should pray oo, before one or two people there will kill all of them.
Nollywood ehn… Nollywood should invite pastors for prayers, maybe their hands ain’t clean. what’s these all about? all of u know where una put hand
His a great and an old actor. Take him to Synagogue Church of all Nation. The arena of Liberty. Jesus heals and forgive. My question is, where are the children? I have my reasons for asking this question. Everybody has morning, afternoon and evening. Some people, especially Men. When they are in money, they will not take good care of their children and their family. Instead of caring for their children they lavishly spend their money for beer and sot of selfish enjoyment. Responsible person must have a responsible family. In the other hands. Let them take him for prayers and deliverance. No sickness God can’t heal. Jesus is the greatest physician and his the healer.
Correct
Chaii… Many amputees die from thinking rather than from the sickness. So pitiful… It is well.
U are heal by the blood of jesus
Stop using the word Veteran to describe every fool.
Why some of this sick actors don’t believe in God. Go to SCOAN for God to use the man of God heal u.
What is happening? Is there a Nollywood curse that needs to be broken? Pls members, act fast.
Sorry
Get well soon sir
God will see us through all our trying times
Ooh God ,d leg is black already,they sud amputate fast before d infection spreds… Coz he his diabetic ,he will get help n be healed ijn….
LORD hill him
Ur healed IJN Amen
