As Nollywood legend and star of innumerable number of movies, Zack Orji, battles for survival in an Abuja hospital, Nigerians are calling on God to spare his life.
The widely-acclaimed actor, who is recuperating at the National Hospital, Abuja, reportedly slumped in the loo when he went to ease himself.
Nobody has so far given a hint of what might have triggered the collapse as doctors handling the case were yet to give a clue.
However as many of his fans are praying fervently for his recovery, some are mischievously picking on him as "one of the reasons over 200m people are suffering today. We'll never forget in a hurry," albeit he joined the others in praying for his quick recovery.
A colleague, Digidis Dunhill, had dropped a prayer point for Zack on Facebook calling on God to save the situation.
Zack Orji visibly campaigned for the winning party and it's presidential candidate in the last election and incurred the wrath of many.
Nigerians who are having a hard time coping with economic situation in the country caused by the twin policies of subsidy removal and forex rate unification. As he battles for his life seriously more controversy may be expected. However, another colleague noted, "he has contributed a lot as one of the founders of Nollywood and that comes first before any side talks," as he put it.
