Saidi Balogun blames House of Reps for the deaths of several sick Nollywood actors

Actor, Saidi Balogun speaks on the need for health insurance in Nollywood
Following the death of veteran actors Olumide Bakare, Moji Olaiya and Pastor Ajidara, co-actor Saidi Balogun has come out to plead with his Nollywood colleagues to opt for health insurance.

He said the inability of actors and actresses to pay for health insurance is one of the reasons responsible for their untimely deaths. He also added that if the Nigerian House of Representatives pass bills that would effectively curb piracy, then actors will be able to live better lives. See what he said below;



“People die but because we are in the public eye, death of actors resonates more. Two million people can die but nobody would write about them unlike when actors die.

People die every day. It is not that we are not checking ourselves, it happens but I am begging all actors to work on their health. I was supposed to celebrate my birthday from May 24 to 26 but I postponed it in honour of our fallen colleagues.

“The reason why most actors solicit for funds when they are ill is because of lack of health insurance and we should talk to insurance companies about that. If we are making our money now, we should look at health insurance policy for future sake.

“I keep begging that the House of Representatives pass hard laws on piracy because if we are making good money, we would be able to subscribe to insurance policies. If I am making N500,000 and the school fees of my daughter is N600,000, where would I see money for insurance? It is the people that are not passing hard laws on piracy that are killing us.”

I think this is a bright idea, what do you think?

Nollwood actress, Ini Edo, has opened up on her marriage, saying she has no regret breaking up with her husband of six years.  Ini Edo got married to an American-based Nigerian businessman, Phillip in 2008. She walked out of the marriage in September, 2014, following accusations of domestic violence and cheating. Speaking on ‘Rubbing Minds’ a Channel Television programme, the actress cited irresolvable differences and incompatibility as the major reasons for the crash of her marriage.  Ini Edo said that closeness should have, may be, saved her marriage since her former husband was in America and she in Nigeria. According to her, “May be being together would have helped keep us together. Because it would enable us study and understand each other more. May be it would have helped but I’m not sure.” Asked if her estranged husband was comfortable with her kind of job, she said,  “He met me an actress and I believe he was okay with that. Actually he complained. My work ta...
