Veteran Nollywood actress Patience Ozokwo has given reasons why some actors resolve to beg when they fall sick and are helpless.
According to the actress many actors make good money when they are vibrant and at work, but their expensive lifestyle, which is expected of them by the public, makes them spend so much to meet their status as superstars.
The actress who won the AMVCA Merit Award in May noted that many believe actors are rich because of the kind of clothes they wear on the red carpet, so they don’t help them
When they fall sick, they and their family bear the burden alone, and when they have nothing left, they have to resort to begging on social media.
Her explanation came after actors were slammed for begging when they fell on hard times.
