Nollywood actress, Ibinabo Fiberesima, has said it is worrisome that Nigerian entertainers give little or no attention to their health.<\/p>\n

Fiberesima, a former Miss Earth Nigeria, in an interview on the death and health scare in the industry said she that many of her colleagues do not care much about their health until it becomes too late.<\/p>\n

\u201cI dare to take a leap by asserting that research into a percentage of those who have gone for check-ups this 2019 will yield shocking results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey simply do not care until it is too late; so imagine your average entertainer who indulges in alcohol, substance abuse and a frequent want on sexual activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes they backed it with enhancers and caps it off with daily late and sleepless night than the required hours only to rush off the very next day as soon he or she gets the call to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn location, he or she eats whatever he sees and drinks whatever he finds, napping in between cuts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey decide to forget the damage such a lifestyle does to their bodies<\/p>\n

\u201cThey decide to ignore the danger of their steadily rising Blood Pressure, which by the way is now one of the foremost killers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Fiberesima noted that though she would not condemn her colleagues for relaxing when it was done with moderation, a situation where such becomes a daily way of life which in the long run is absolutely unacceptable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only issues they worry about is malaria and typhoid and even then, they resort to self-medication till it gets too late.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe harsh truth is the same colleagues who drink and indulge with you will never bail out their buddies when they are down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, they all knew what they were getting into ab initio, so once you\u2019re down it is your bad luck. Everyone awaits your candlelight procession and an opportunity to drink further in honour of the fallen,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The mother of three stressed the need for entertainers to take their health seriously.<\/p>\n

She urged her colleagues not to indulge in unhealthy activities that might pose danger to their well-being.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy candid advice to my colleagues is that, you only have one life. Once it\u2019s gone, it\u2019s gone. It\u2019s irreplaceable.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you owe it to yourself at least for the sake of the family you\u2019ll leave behind to take care of yourself. No one else will do it for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout apologies, there are a few of debilitating indulgences entertainers and other people cannot do without.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut like I always say, your health first and all these indulgences pale into insignificance when you hit the red zone,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old actress and pageant organiser said that entertainers should always remember their health before indulging in various activities that affect their health.<\/p>\n

Fiberesima, an ex-president of AGN, has contributed immensely to helping colleagues in order for them to stay healthy.<\/p>\n

Newsmen report Nollywood has lost 15 of its members in the first five months of 2019.<\/p>\n
