My Nollywood Colleagues Mocked Me While I Battled Liver Disease And Ulcer – Tito Harrison

Popular Nollywood actor, Tito Harrison, has come out to say that liver disease and a chronic ulcer made him sell all of his properties. He recently had his say while speaking during an emotional interview on Biola Bayo’s Talk To B show, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, both sicknesses did not just take a massive toll on his health and caregivers, it also forced him to sell everything he owned, including his house and cars.

He added that his wife deserves a lot of praise for sticking with him even after everybody left him to his problems.

His words, “I sold my house, car, and everything I had to pay hospital bills. After moving to a rented house, I couldn’t afford the rent anymore, so we had to stay at my mother-in-law’s place.

The luck I had was my wife. When I was battling with liver disease and a chronic ulcer, my wife stood by me when everybody left me. It is good to have a good wife. If I come to this world again, it is my wife I will marry.

Some people granted an interview saying, ‘It is finished for Tito Harrison, he’s now living with his mother-in-law.’ I have the testimony to that. I didn’t throw away the magazine. Even if it had been so, if you can’t rally around me, you don’t vilify me or kill my reputation.”

WOW.

Nollywood is a sobriquet that originally referred to the Nigerian film industry. The origin of the term dates back to the early 2000s, traced to an article in The New York Times. Due to the history of evolving meanings and contexts, there is no clear or agreed-upon definition for the term, which has made it a subject to several controversies.

The origin of the term “Nollywood” remains unclear; Jonathan Haynes traced the earliest usage of the word to a 2002 article by Matt Steinglass in the New York Times, where it was used to describe Nigerian cinema.

Charles Igwe noted that Norimitsu Onishi also used the name in a September 2002 article he wrote for the New York Times. The term continues to be used in the media to refer to the Nigerian film industry, with its definition later assumed to be a portmanteau of the words “Nigeria” and “Hollywood”, the American major film hub.

Film-making in Nigeria is divided largely along regional, and marginally ethnic and religious lines. Thus, there are distinct film industries – each seeking to portray the concern of the particular section and ethnicity it represents. However, there is the English-language film industry which is a melting pot for filmmaking and filmmakers from most of the regional industries.
