The Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) has established a fervent four-day time of prayer and fasting in reaction to the recent spate of unfortunate losses in Nollywood, hoping to prevent a repetition in the future.
Emeka Rollas, the guild's national president, announced the initiative on Instagram on Monday, recognizing Pastor Jerry Eze, the founder of Streams of Joy International Church, as a key figure in this spiritual endeavor.
Rollas stressed the critical relevance of these prayers in preventing more tragedies in Nollywood, particularly in light of the recent deaths of actors Mr Ibu and Amaeachi Muonagor, who heroically battled sickness, and Junior Pope, who was sadly killed in a boat accident.
The AGN president tagging numerous movie stars in his post, wrote: “In view of the recent passing of our two veteran members and the devastating tragic boat mishap that claimed the lives of five active practitioners including John Paul Odonwodo, aka, Jnr Pope in Asaba, we have decided to seek divine intervention in fasting and prayers to avert similar occurrence in the future.
“Join us on the Alter of Fire from 2nd May to 5th May 2024 for prayers and declarations to deal with this ugly reproach.
“Actors cannot continue to die like chicken let us reclaim our spiritual airways and highways that seem to have been hijacked by certain powers. Other members of the Nollywood are free to join in this programme.appeal to all NSPDians all over the world and all lovers of ACTORS of NOLLYWO0D to join us in this programme.”
