As Nollywood mourns star actress Ada Ameh, popular actor, Segun Arinze, has some important words for fellow Thespians.
According to him, there is the need to be checking on one another.
He said this on Monday when he paid a tribute to Ameh, who slumped and died on Sunday during a work-related trip to Port Harcourt.
Arinze said the deceased was a loving actress who would be sorely missed by her fans and colleagues in the industry.
He said late Ameh spoke about experiencing some mental health problems but unfortunately, nobody took her up on it.
He, however, advised his colleagues in the industry to always look after one another to guide against future recurrence of such cases.
“It is a crazy morning for me to wake up to this kind of news, it is more than heart-wrenching for me.
“I am surprised that she was talking about mental health issues and nobody was looking in her direction.
“I think it is high time we actors began to check on one another, we should value ourselves, reach out to one another. I do that sometimes, everything is not all about money and hustling.
“I pray God grant her family and we, her friends the fortitude to bear the loss, it is a sad one but she has played her part,” he said.
