Veteran Actor, Lari Williams expressed the kind of hardship, he and few other old entertainers have been going through, He also disprove stories that the government gave him money
along with the honours. The veteran actor who was recently conferred with a Member of the
Federal Republic (MFR) has cried out saying he is homeless and
going blind. He also
made it known that he was recently evicted from his 3-bedroom apartment
by his landlord.
“I have heard people say that the Lagos State or the Federal
Government had given me a two-bedroom flat somewhere, it is all lies. “We
served this country and helped to build the entertainment sector that a
lot of people are benefiting from today, but there is nothing for
people like me to show for it. “Most of us are left unsung because of
the kind of structure that is being run; we should be having benefits
like the civil servants. “In other climes, artists live on government
subventions and are structured in such a way that they earn from their
creative works,” he said.
