Roy De Nani: ‘I Lost Two Children and Nollywood Abandoned Me’ Sparks Calls for Industry Reform
Veteran actor Roy De Nani has revealed that he lost his son and daughter to sickle cell disease without a single Nollywood colleague reaching out in support. His story adds to other accounts of financial and emotional hardship among senior actors. Earlier this year, Abiodun Ayoyinka shared how trademark disputes over his Papa Ajasco role left him without a house or car, forcing him to seek public help. Industry veterans are now demanding structural changes, including lifetime royalty payments on streaming revenue, pension protections and formal welfare support to prevent more stars from suffering in silence.
