Renowned Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has garnered widespread praise for his decision to postpone his 70th birthday celebration, acknowledging the prevailing challenges in the country.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the veteran Yoruba actor expressed gratitude to his colleagues for their initiative to honor his contributions to the industry while he is still alive. However, after discussions with them, they collectively agreed to delay the celebration due to the current situation in the country and the hardships faced by the people.
Kosoko emphasized that his decision to postpone the festivities is rooted in his concern for the masses and his hope for a better future for all. He expressed confidence that the challenges facing the nation will soon be overcome, bringing joy to everyone.
“I want to use this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation to my colleagues who came up with the idea of celebrating me for my contributions to industry growth and development.
It is my sincere prayer that they will all remain relevant in all areas of human endeavors they find themselves in. I have discussed with them, and they reasoned that the celebration should be put on hold, basically because of the current situation in the country and what the people are going through.
I am very sure that very soon, the challenges facing the country will be over and we will all be happy for it. I am putting it on hold because of the masses, of which I am a part. Thank you all for your understanding!”
