Veteran actor and filmmaker, Ugezu Ugezu has reacted to the level of deaths rocking the Nigerian movie industry.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST reports that some fans are suggesting that Nollywood may be under a siege after over five actors, including Mr Ibu, Amaechi Muonagor, Sisi Quadri, Adejumoke Aderounmu, and the latest Junior Pope died within the first quarter of 2024.<\/p>\n

Reacting via his Instagram page, Ugezu said it isn\u2019t a Nollywood disaster as many alluded, explaining that people in other professions also die every week.<\/p>\n

He said the difference is that the death of movie stars are publicised, stressing that the death surge in the country is due to \u201csystematic destruction of the health sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ugezu wrote, \u201cIf only you knew how many bankers who kpai every week\u2026if only you knew how many police officers who kpai every month\u2026if only you knew how many pastors\/priests who kpai every month\u2026if only we have a clear data on citizens that kpai monthly, we may settle down and understand the systematic destruction of the health sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntertainers are domiciled publicly and theirs go viral always. Time has come to expunge spiritualism from clear system failure. It is not just a Nollywood disaster like many allude.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a general system disaster.\u201d<\/p>\n
