Since the National President of the
Screen Writers Guild of Nigeria, SWGN, Chike Bryan was diagnosed with
kidney-related disease about six months ago, Franca Brown and some of her
colleagues have taken it upon themselves to solicit financial assistance for
the ailing script writer.
francaBut the veteran actress, who
hit the limelight after the role she played in the popular soap opera, “Behind
the Cloud”, is not totally happy as she laments the indifferent attitude
displayed by Bryan’s relatives towards his health condition.
“It’s a big shame that while Bryan
hails from somewhere, his relatives are doing nothing to assist him
financially,” she said, while in chat with HVP recently.
The actress commended the efforts of
some of her colleagues who have been supporting the ailing script writer
financially.
“Our pray is that God should continue
to keep him alive. That young man deserves to live. Wherever I am, I always
tell people that they should not forget him. I commend the efforts of some of
my colleagues who have been supporting him financially. He’s been sustained in
one way or the other. But it’s a big shame that he hails from somewhere and up
till now, his kinsmen are doing nothing to assist him. We are not happy about
their attitude,” the actress lamented.
Byran who has written the scripts of
so many Nollywood films has been down with kideny related ailment for about six
months now. His two kidneys reportedly have packed up, and he needs about N10
million to go for transplant in India.
