Popular Nollywood actor, Ernest Asuzu has disclosed how most of his friends abandoned him when he needed them. In an interview with Sunday Scoop, the actor also said although he could neither walk nor talk while he was down with a stroke, it didn’t affect his sex life as he was frequently having sex with his wife. He further explained that while all his friends deserted him, only his wife stayed with him.
“When I was down with a stroke, my wife was the only one who didn’t forsake me. It was a terrible situation because I did not work for three years, yet I was spending money. I must confess that I was afraid that my wife would leave me at that time because of my situation. Though the illness was serious, it didn’t affect my sex life. Naturally, I am hyperactive in bed and I don’t joke with sex. I have been married officially for five years.
“Since I survived the stroke, it has not been easy for me but I am working now. I went for a shoot some days ago. When I had a stroke, I was abandoned by friends but all the people who abandoned me then are calling me for jobs now. We do not help each other in Nollywood. If a person has a stroke or any other illness, he should not be left alone. I was angry at my colleagues because they didn’t help me when I needed them.”
On his reported healing he said;
“I was truly healed and I thank God for sparing my life. I loved to dance, but I cannot do that anymore. When I have recovered fully, I would be able to do some of the things I was doing before. After all, there was a time that I couldn’t walk or talk well,” he added.
