Veteran Nigerian entertainer , Basorge Tariah Jr has lamented over the dearth of love in the Nigerian entertainment industry .
The actor and comedian noted that you are on your own when you are ill, adding that everyone will run away from you.
He made this known during a chat with The Sun.
Hear him: “At a point in my career, I was down. I had blood clot in my leg and had to be flown abroad for proper treatment. It was the former Rivers State governor, Rotimi Amaechi now a Minister that came to my aid. I have only few friends and I’m contented with that.
“In this industry, you are on your own whenever you are down. Just pretend that you’re sick or dying and you’ll see everybody running away, not just friends, even family members. I try as much as I can to invest in friendship, but in as much as you do, you can’t please everyone. I am 51; I’m no more a small boy who wants to please everybody. I keep more of businessmen as friends. I like very small circle. When Julius Agwu was ill, I was there for him and came to his aid, that’s true friendship and brotherly love.”
