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.
