Renowned Nollywood actor Jide Kosoko has received widespread commendation for his choice to postpone his 70th birthday celebration, recognizing the current challenges facing the country.
In a touching Instagram post, the veteran Yoruba actor conveyed his appreciation to his colleagues for their thoughtful gesture of honoring his contributions to the industry while he is still alive. However, after deliberations with them, they collectively decided to postpone the celebration in light of the current challenges and hardships endured by the people in the country.
Kosoko underscored that his choice to delay the festivities is driven by his deep concern for the masses and his optimism for a brighter future for all. He expressed confidence that the nation will soon overcome its challenges, bringing joy to everyone.
“I want to use this opportunity to offer my sincere appreciation to my colleagues who came up with the idea of celebrating me for my contributions to industry growth and development.
It is my sincere prayer that they will all remain relevant in all areas of human endeavors they find themselves in. I have discussed with them, and they reasoned that the celebration should be put on hold, basically because of the current situation in the country and what the people are going through.
I am very sure that very soon, the challenges facing the country will be over and we will all be happy for it. I am putting it on hold because of the masses, of which I am a part. Thank you all for your understanding!”
