A video of veteran Nollywood actor Sunday Afolabi has stirred emotional reactions online after he was reportedly seen working as a danfo driver.
The clip, which has been making rounds on social media, shows the once-famous actor looking noticeably frail while attending to passengers inside a commercial bus. He was seen interacting with commuters as they boarded, a moment that has left many Nigerians shocked and concerned.
Sunday Afolabi rose to prominence in the 1990s, featuring in popular Nollywood classics like Owo Blow and End of the Wicked. He became a household name, especially for his memorable role as “Kegbero” in Owo Blow, which earned him widespread recognition at the time.
The recent video, however, paints a different picture of the actor’s current situation, sparking conversations about the challenges faced by some veterans in the Nigerian film industry.
While some social media users expressed sympathy and sadness over the development, others questioned the authenticity of the video, suggesting it might be staged to attract attention or support.
A user identified as Resume AC wrote that the situation felt staged, adding that similar cases in the past had received public assistance, which might be influencing such moves.
Another commenter, Biola Media, pointed out that the situation reflects the harsh realities of life, emphasizing the importance of adapting to changes, especially in an evolving entertainment industry.
Others simply expressed emotional concern, describing the situation as heartbreaking and difficult to watch.
As the video continues to trend, many Nigerians are left reflecting on the uncertainties of fame and the importance of long-term stability beyond the spotlight.
