Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has offered to help his homeless colleague, Kenneth Aguba Jideofor, who went viral on social media after he was pictured sitting in a littered and dilapidated building.
A Twitter user shared a picture of Aguba who was alleged to be living in an open shelter, opposite a closed shop, with various cooking utensils which belonged to him.
“Veteran actor popularly known as Aguba is reportedly homeless. The place shown in the photos is said to be where he currently lives,” the tweet read.
The picture was received with mixed reactions as many users criticised the Actor’s Guild of Nigeria (AGN) for allegedly failing to take good care of its members.
Reacting to the pictures in a tweet, Edochie said it was a “small matter”, adding that the veteran actor should post “his account details online” so that people can crowdfund for him.
He wrote, “This one is a small matter. Me I don’t believe in too much talk or time-wasting. Just get him to do a short video calling out his account details and post it online. We’ll do crowdfunding for him. He’ll never lack anything again.”
