Veteran actor, Kola Oyewo speaks on battle with prostate enlargement

Legendary Nollywood actor, Kola Oyewo, has opened up about his battle with prostate enlargement.

Oyewo made this known during actor Kunle Afod’s visit to his residence.

Speaking about his disappearance from the screen, the 80-year-old actor stated that the illness has restricted him from acting certain roles.

Narrating how it all started, Oyewo explained that he was diagnosed after experiencing sleepless nights and frequent urination among other symptoms.

“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.

DAILY POST reports that Oyewo joined the movie industry in 1964, gaining popularity with ‘The Gods are not to blame’ and ‘Sango’.

He was also a lecturer at Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, in Ile-Ife, Osun State, from 1996 till he retired in 2011.

UCL: What Lamine Yamal said after Barcelona’s exit

Barcelona winger, Lamine Yamal, has vowed that his team will bring the UEFA Champions League trophy to Camp Nou in the near future.

Yamal was speaking after Barcelona was eliminated from the Champions League at the hands of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday.

The Spain international scored as Barcelona defeated Atletico 2-1 in the Champions League quarter-final second leg tie, but the Blaugrana failed to progress to the semi-final after losing on a 3-2 aggregate scoreline.

In a post on his Instagram account on Thursday, Yamal also said Hansi Flick’s side will learn from their mistake.

“We gave everything, but it wasn’t enough. This is only part of the journey: to reach the top, you have to climb, and we know it won’t be easy, nor will they make it easy for us. But giving up is not an option,” Yamal said.

“We have more than enough reasons to believe, and we’re going to go after them with everything we’ve got. Every mistake is a lesson, and don’t doubt that we will learn from each and every one.

“We are Barça, and we will be back where we belong. My parents taught me that a man’s word is always kept… and we will bring it to Barcelona”.
