In a recent chat with Punch the actor explains why he thins the government especially the House of rep members are the indirect cause of recent death of many Nigerian movie stars.
Read what he said below..
"Iconic actor, Saidi Balogun, is of the opinion that members of the House of Representatives especially those who are in charge of passing anti-piracy laws, indirectly have a hand in the death of many actors across the country.
The actor said that most of his colleagues who sought for public funds before their demise could have been spared of death and taken care of themselves if pirates did not milk the industry dry. He opined that the actors could have used the money they make to subscribe to a health insurance policy.
“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.
