I Lost My Son and My Daughter, Nobody From Nollywood Came to See Me – Veteran Actor Roy De Nani Cries Out
This is a heartbreaking story that has exposed a side of Nollywood that many people don't like to talk about. Veteran actor Roy De Nani, a man who has contributed his quota to the industry for years, has revealed that he lost two of his children, a son and a daughter, and not a single person from Nollywood came to check on him. Not one,
He said it himself, and you could feel the pain in his words. Imagine losing two children, going through the kind of grief that no parent should ever experience, and looking around to see that the people you worked with for years couldn't even pick up their phones to call or stop by to say "sorry." That's not just neglect, that's abandonment.
Roy De Nani isn't a newbie, he has been in the game for decades. He has acted alongside some of the biggest names in the industry. He has been on sets, attended premieres, and done all the things that make Nollywood a family. But when tragedy struck his own home, that family was nowhere to be found.
His story has struck a nerve with many people, both within the industry and outside it. Some fellow actors have reached out to him publicly since he spoke, probably feeling guilty or trying to save face. But the damage is already done. The man has felt the neglect, and no late apology can take that pain away.
This is the dark side of Nollywood that fans don't see. The glamour, the red carpets, the Instagram posts, that's all for show. Behind the scenes, many veteran actors are struggling, neglected, and forgotten once they are no longer "relevant." Roy De Nani's story is just one of many, but it's one that finally got attention because he was brave enough to speak.
The industry needs to do better. Not just in words, but in action. When your own is suffering, you show up. That's what family does. And if Nollywood considers itself a family, then it has failed one of its own.
