This coming in the wake of controversy surrounding Mr. John Okafor, alias Mr. Ibu, who recently lost a leg to amputation because of delay in attending to the ailment due lack of money, and had be rescued through public donations, particularly by former senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki. Nigerians are beginning to question the lifestyle of some of these artistes and stars, and some even wonder if this is another con game in town, as Nigerians can do anything for money.
Hank explained that he's a veteran, who has had no job no job for years and, therefore, called for help.
"I am calling on my fans and friends in the industry and the Delta state governor, to come to my rescue because I have dependants and pressing issues bordering me.
Hanks Anuku, who used to be one of the 'big boys' in Nollywood a couple of years back, is also widely travelled.
He was a star of many movies too and is, however, noy the only actor, who is soliciting for help on health grounds
He said, “I have worked for this country. I have attained the height of being a legend. But I’ve had no job for, God knows, how many years. And I expect that Nigerians will also know that I did it all for them.
“I just gonna ask Governor Sheriff [Oborevwori] to please send support to me. And my fans, who truly love and appreciate the works I’ve done for them, if you think you truly love me, may God help you all to help me.”
