Coalition Seeks Support for Ailing Nollywood Actor, Fadeyi Oloro
The Coalition for A Better Nigeria has called on well meaning Nigerians to rise to save the life of ailing Nollywood Actor, Ojo Arowosafe, popularly known as Fadeyi Oloro.
Coalition National Coordinator Bamiji Awa made the call in a statement he issued on Tuesday in Lagos.
Awa said: “Our dear Super Nollywood Actor, Chief Ojo Arowosafe, popularly known as “Fadeyi Oloro” is in dire need of the generous support of kind hearted Nigerians concerning his failing health.
“We brought this into public knowledge after years of his health crisis which is certainly beyond the control of his immediate family.
”Awa, who is also the President-General, Grand Council of Yoruba Youths, said that the ailing veteran actor needed assistance from spirited individuals and corporate organisations.
“Veteran Yoruba actor Fadeyi Oloro has cried out to Nigerians, seeking financial assistance amidst health challenges,“ he said.
According to Awa, the ailing actor has said he has conducted a series of tests to ascertain the nature of his ailment but to no avail.
He said that Arowosafe had sold all his property while moving from one hospital to another in search of a cure.
Meanwhile, speaking about 2022, the youth leader urged the Federal Government to redouble efforts toward improving security and ensuring a restructured Nigeria.
Awa commended the Federal Government for making a difference and positive turn around for purchasing weapons and Super Tucano fighter jets to fight terrorism and banditry.
He said more should be done to stamp out killings.
He called for a slash in the cost of governance through the adoption of parliamentary or regional system of government.
This, he said, would save the country’s economy.
Awa congratulated the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on his sixth year coronation anniversary.
He said that the anniversary coincided with the inauguration of the Royal African Foundation targeted at addressing a wide range of issues affecting the youth.
He listed the issues to include leadership deficit, poverty, social inclusion, inequality, among others. (NAN)

BBNaija Season 11: Keivo Becomes Second Housemate to be Disqualified
Keivo has become the second Big Brother Naija housemate to be disqualified from Season 11.
This follows his physical altercation with fellow housemate, Tram.
The fight broke out after Tram accused Keivo of taking one of his shirts.
Keivo did not take the allegation of theft lightly, and the situation eventually became violent.
It took the intervention of other housemates to calm both men down.
On Tuesday, Biggie sent ninjas to escort Keivo out of the house through the storeroom.
Biggie eventually gathered the remaining contestants and confirmed Keivo’s disqualification.
Nomy was the first housemate to be disqualified due to repeated defiance and refusal to wear an assigned punishment outfit.

Mofe-Damijo Envisions Bright Future for Nigeria at 66
Veteran actor and public speaker, Richard Mofe-Damijo, has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s future, describing the country as a work in progress, on its 66th Independence Anniversary on Oct. 1.
Mofe-Damijo said this while speaking on Nigeria’s journey at 66 at the Pivot Nigeria conference in Lagos.
He said although Nigeria had shortcomings, its relatively young age as a nation meant citizens should remain patient while continuing to contribute to its development.
“A bright one. We are a country, we’re a work in progress, and we must continue just doing the work,” he said.
According to him, building a civilisation takes time, adding that Nigeria at 66 remained young compared with many countries regarded as leading nations today.
He, however, stressed that the country’s age should not be an excuse for its shortcomings.
Mofe-Damijo urged Nigerians to remain committed to building the country and contributing positively to its growth.
He said every Nigerian was an ambassador of the country, noting that individual conduct could influence Nigeria’s reputation locally and internationally.
The actor urged citizens to demonstrate discipline, professionalism, punctuality and integrity in their daily activities.
He said Nigerians should view representing the country as a responsibility rather than a burden.
Mofe-Damijo added that Nigeria’s reputation would be strengthened when citizens consistently demonstrated excellence and maintained positive values wherever they found themselves. (NAN)
