Nollywood calls for help for sick veteran actor, Victor Olaotan [photos]

Since the incident, the actor has been a shadow of himself. When his condition was made public, billionaire, Femi Otedola pledged to pay his medical bills.

Otedola did pay his medical bills, but the actor has not returned to his normal state. New photos of the actor which were released by his colleague, Seun Ajayi, have left Nigerians in shock.

Victor Olaotan’s colleagues have taken to social media to try to raise awareness and funds for him to complete his treatment. According to Seun Ajayi, Olaotan needs $250k for recovery and aftercare.

Among the Nollywood actors and actresses who are trying to bring awareness to his case are Linda Ejiofor Suleiman, Abiola Segun Williams, Monalisa Chinda, and Femi Jacobs.

Abiola Segun Williams took to her Instagram page to share a story of the old Olaotan and appealed for help getting him back to his previous form. She wrote:

“When I met Victor Olaotan in 2008 I was enamoured by his looks. His luscious white hair, his strong sense of fashion and everyday grooming of his total visage. He was a very fashionable man.

“I called him FADA like most of us did. His gait was like an eagle on heels. He walked with exceptional pomp angling both arms like he was going to fly any second.

“Victor Olaotan played his lead role as Fred Ade-Williams on Tinsel with such panache and style.
Now that is him in the picture above. Unbelievable!! It shows that flesh degenerates. Anyone can be involved in an accident. Many have died. Bryant just did without a chance for recovery.

“However, Victor Olaotan has a chance for recovery, I know because I was given that chance too. There is absolutely NOTHING that cant fade, diminish or wither. Money can and does fly away. But what we do with it lasts forever.

“The lives that we touch with our monies bless the lord on our behalfs and such gestures are recorded in eternity. We have given but more needs to be given to bring Victor Olaotan back!! God bless you all as you give.”

Linda Ejiofor Suleiman also shared a video appealing to Nigerians to help as he needs assistance with post-surgery care, medication, physiotherapy and even more. His wife has shouldered the costs, but now she needs help.
