URGENT APPEAL FOR SUPPORT Due to unforeseen circumstances and the emergency lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, I have become very broke and homeless and still in self-isolation in a guest house in Lagos where I am owing thousands of naira. The guest house will be shutdown tomorrow, because of lack of business and I will be stranded in Lagos The lockdown worsened my precarious situation by stopping my sources of incomes in the Nigerian film industry. Debtors who are owing me have become unreachable and not responding to my calls and messages. All I need is N500, 000. I am desperate and it is better to be a beggar than be an armed robber. Please, I need the support of every kind hearted person who can contribute whatever amount you can give me to survive my present ordeal.
