Why Kunle Afod Decided To Publicize His Charity For Nollywood Veterans
Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Kunle Afod, has opened up about why he decided to publicize his charity work for Nollywood veterans. Known for supporting aged and struggling actors in the industry, Afod revealed that his decision to go public was not for clout but to create awareness and inspire others to join the cause.
The Yoruba movie star explained that many veterans who contributed to the growth of Nollywood are currently living in hardship, with little or no support. By showcasing his charity efforts, he hopes to encourage well-meaning Nigerians and fellow entertainers to also lend a helping hand.
According to Afod, his transparency in sharing the stories of these veterans helps highlight their plight and ensures that they are not forgotten after years of entertaining millions. He also stressed that the publicity is necessary to attract donations and assistance from fans, colleagues, and philanthropists.
His remarks have drawn reactions across social media, with fans praising him for his kindness and for shedding light on the realities many Nollywood pioneers face. Others also urged more celebrities to emulate his efforts and give back to the industry that made them.
With Afod’s move, conversations around welfare for Nollywood veterans have once again taken center stage, raising questions about how the industry treats its pioneers and what more can be done to support them.
