“I Can’t Play Some Roles Anymore” the Illness started with frequent urination — Chief Kola Oyewo Speaks on Career Setback

Before I could walk up and down, if I was called for a role, I would always show up and give my best. But this !llness has caused a major setback in my profession—I can no longer play certain roles. S!ckness weakens one’s strength, even more as age advances. Though I know some people remain strong even in their 80s, I still thank God for my life.

I was given a referral note at the hospital to go to Akure, but I became confused about who would take care of me there. So, I decided to return home instead and drove back. When I got home, I told my wife about the referral, but explained that I chose to come back. I then visited our family doctor, who began my treatment.

The !llness started with frequent urination—I couldn’t sleep at night. The urge to urinate would come suddenly, and before I could get to the toilet, it would already have leaked into my clothes. After several tests, it was discovered that I had an enlarged pr0state.
