Chief Kola Oyewo Shares How Health Challenges Forced Him to Step Back from Acting
Nollywood veteran Chief Kola Oyewo explains why he can’t take on physically demanding roles anymore. He tells Kunle Afod that his recent prostate operation and advancing age have weakened his strength, making action scenes a challenge. Oyewo recalls his confusion after receiving a referral to Akure and deciding instead to return home for treatment. He describes how frequent urination and sleepless nights led to tests that confirmed an enlarged prostate. The actor also praises fellow Yoruba star Kunle Afod for his ongoing support of industry elders. Afod’s visits and fund-raising efforts for veterans like Baba Ariyo, Pa Tunbosun Odunsi, Charles Olumo, Iya Niwen, and Lere Paimo have drawn widespread praise. Despite his setback, Chief Oyewo remains thankful and hopeful for better days ahead.
