‘Anyone I Have Wronged Should Forgive Me’ – Veteran Actor Seeks Help Over Battle With Cancer

Popular Kannywood actor, Alhaji Mato Yakubu Nata’ala, has appealed for financial assistance over his continued battle with cancer.

Naija News reports that the film star in a video shared on social media, said he has been living with the health condition for nearly two years.

Yakubu, who gained popularity for his role in the Dadin Kowa series on Arewa 24, admitted that the treatment has depleted his resources, despite support from friends, clerics, and colleagues in the film industry.

The movie star also pleaded for forgiveness for anyone he had wronged in the past.

He said, “I would like to thank everyone who has supported me, especially groups of clerics, the Arewa 24 team and Kannywood Vanguard.

“I am calling on anyone I have wronged to please forgive me. I need help. I have to pay ₦250,000 every three weeks for an injection. Even the hospital bed costs ₦51,000. Please help me. May Allah help us all.”

In other news, Ghanaian actor, Mawuli Gavor, has revealed why he left his corporate job at global accounting firm KPMG to fully pursue a career in entertainment.

In an interview on the Black Volta Podcast, Gavor shared that he initially tried to balance his job at KPMG with early morning modelling and photo shoot commitments.

Naija News reports that at the time, he was earning 770 cedis monthly while struggling to meet the demands of both worlds.

The clash between his corporate schedule and creative opportunities eventually pushed him to make a choice.

According to him, a major turning point came when a brand he worked with offered to pay him the equivalent of his annual salary at once.

The offer made him rethink the limits of regular office work and gave him the confidence to resign from his corporate role.

Gavor explained that moving into the creative industry was not just about making more money but also about gaining freedom and time.

He added that the experience shaped his decision to focus fully on acting and other entertainment projects.
