BREAKING: Actor Roy Tells His Painful Experience in Nollywood
Veteran Nollywood actor Roy De Nani has spoken about his painful experiences in the film industry, as well as the personal struggles he has endured over the years of his life.
Speaking on the ‘Where is the lie’ podcast, the actor alleged that at a point in his career, he was unofficially blacklisted from getting acting jobs.
According to him, “A man gave an order that nobody should give Roy De Nani a job again. For years, even when I was already recording, a producer would come in and say, ‘No, cancel it. Stop.’”
Roy De Nani also recalled the pain of losing his brother, saying that no Nollywood actors or actresses supported him during this time.
“I have a brother from the same father. When he died, not a single actor or actress showed up,” he said.
The veteran actor further revealed that he later suffered an even more devastating loss when both his son and daughter died after he could not afford the blood transfusions they urgently needed.
According to him, the children were living with sickle cell disorder and required regular transfusions to stay alive.
“I lost my son, I lost my daughter because they needed blood transfusion so they could continue living, but there was no money to buy the blood, and they died,” he said.
“Nollywood never came to assist me. Not that they don’t care, but they have not been touched. Let it be said that way,” he added.
El-Kanemi Warriors technical adviser, Emmanuel King, has expressed confidence in the team’s chances in the CAF confederation cup.
The Borno Army will face Guinea-Bissau’s União Desportiva Internacional (UDIB) in the first preliminary round.
El-kanemi Warriors will face Moroccan heavyweights Raja Casablanca in the second preliminary round if they scale through.
King believes that with hard work, dedication and support from the club’s faithful the team can improve on their performance in the CAF competition.
“We will go far in the CAF Confederation Cup, and with hard work, dedication, and the support of our fans,” King told the club’s media.
King also boasted that the team will secure promotion back to the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, next term.
“Nothing will stop us from securing promotion back to the Nigeria Premier Football League next season,” he added.
