@nonxo007 posted “Why do our male actors and celebrities most times end up like this ? After glorious years in their area of specialisation they end up in the streets or they end up sick and bedridden seeking donations. Seems fame blocked their mind from future realities.
“Young men never allow the Little money or fame you have acquired cloud your mind of the reality of old age when you wouldn’t have the strength to work as you do now, create a future for yourself so that at old age all you need do is relax and enjoy the benefits of the struggle of your youth.”
@cantonese posted “I sincerely hope that well to do stars like Ahmed Musa can from time to time come to the rescue of such people so they can live more comfortably in their old ages.“
