CharlyBoy Urges Nigerians To Help Save Ailing Nollywood Veteran Tom Njemanze

Veteran showbiz maestro and activist, Charles Oputa, popularly known as CharlyBoy, has appealed to Nigerians of goodwill to provide financial support for ailing veteran Nollywood actor Tom Njemanze.

He made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Wednesday in Abuja.

Njemanze recently disclosed in a viral video online that he was undergoing treatment for prostate cancer at a medical facility and called on Nigerians for urgent support to help fund his surgery.

CharlyBoy, who confirmed that Njemanze had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, said the actor needs urgent surgery that costs millions.

NAN reports that CharlyBoy has launched a campaign on prostate cancer screening across Nigeria to educate men about prostate cancer risks.

He encourages regular screening and promotes early treatment.

According to CharlyBoy, who recently survived prostate cancer, his foundation is spearheading a nationwide campaign because many men are dying in silence because they don’t talk about their prostate issues.
