Veteran Nollywood actor Kola Oyewo has talked candidly about his struggle with prostate enlargement. When actor Kunle Afod visited Oyewo, he revealed this.
The 80-year-old actor said his condition has prevented him from playing certain roles as he discussed his disappearance from the screen.
Oyewo described how it all began, saying that, among other symptoms, he was diagnosed with insomnia and frequent urination
“Before now, I could go from one location to another and play any role, but the illness has laid me back. I can no longer play certain roles except for some minor roles.
“I thank God because I’m getting better now. You can’t go through some kind of sickness and go back to how you’ve been before, but I thank God,” he said.
“There are so many people of my age that are still stronger than I am, but I thank God for preserving my life. I drove myself to the hospital after having sleepless nights, frequent urination and sometimes urinating on my body before I got to the toilet. After a series of tests, I was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate,” he said.

Veteran Nollywood actress Victoria Inyama says being circumcised is one of the greatest things that has happened to her.
During an Instagram live session with Daddy Freeze, she revealed the information.
When talking about female genital mutilation, or FGM, sometimes known as circumcision, Victoria mentioned that the process has assisted her in managing her erotic desires.
She recalled the trauma she had after being circumcised when she was five years old, even though she described the procedure as the nicest thing that had ever occurred to her.
“FGM is evil. You now have to deal with the consequences. I was circumcised because I grew up with my grandmother in the village. That’s the best thing that they did for me because it is helping me a lot.
“If I say I no dey do, I no dey do. And that is the power that I have. That’s why nobody can say they’ve seen me with a man in any hotel”, she said.
