Nollywood actress and ex-president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Ibinabo Fiberesima, has come out to say that a lot of Nigerian entertainers don’t really pay attention to their health and it worrisome.
Ibinabo said this during an interview with Pulse, where she was speaking about deaths and health scares in the entertainment industry.
She said “I dare to take a leap by asserting further that research into a percentage of those who have gone for checkups this 2019 will yield shocking results. They simply don’t care until it is too late. So imagine your average entertainer who indulges in alcohol, substance abuse, a frequent wanton sexual activity sometimes backed with enhancers and caps it off with daily late nights and sleeps less than the required hours only to rush off the very next day as soon he gets the call to work. On location he eats whatever he sees and drinks whatever he finds, napping in between cuts. He decides to forget the damage such a lifestyle does to his body. He decides to ignore the danger of his steadily rising Blood Pressure, which by the way is now one of the foremost youth killers.”
