what? A whole chief.

Why do some of u come here and make stupid statement like "why is he homeless", "what did he do with all his money", "what happen with all the fame"? Do you think its easy to manage fame nii, or do you think this is limited to only Nigerian celebrities? Mind you, there are thousands of western actors and musicians that have gone broke and worse. At least he did not go into drugs or porn which is the always the frustrating bus stop for most western superstars.

This man left everything to come and support a profession he has passion for and because it did not turn him into a billionaire at the end doesn't mean he is not satisfy with his life. Our politicians make laws to have them taken care for life after their time in office in a very enormous way and someone like this that has contributed to our society in his own way cannot be cut a slack? Have you asked why people like Kate Henshaw and Desmond Elliot are in politics? Its because there's no end game in their career path and no matter what you make over the years, it going start dwindling down with time. Yes you can make the argument why didn't he invest for his old age, but who says he did not and who says investment is 100% guaranteed?

This is a society we created for ourselves; a society where a beauty pageant get a car as reward and a first class student get close to nothing. A society where political office holders get nothing less than 2 multimillion houses in place of their choice, cars change every 4 years, and settled for life for serving for only 4 years and like of Larry Williams get nothing. And talking about the 1 Million naira, did you all see how gracious he was about it...for Bleep sake it just 1 million naira, I mean that's like $3,200. I just got back from naija on vacation and cant see what 1 million naira can do to change a life. We created this monster called Nigeria by celebrating the ills in it and condemning the little pride we have left.

I usually don't comment here, but I watch this man put smile on our faces while growing up....he deserves more than that from y'all. He is a respectable man, rich or poor...

@naijaninja15, no body expects him to live in a mansion at Banana island or Ikoyi, but, for crying out loud, he should be able to afford a decent 2 bedroom flat on the mainland.

That he is 'currently homeless' is not acceptable.

You will be scale. true ijmn

But he won a million naira in WWTBAM Nigeria. So what else does he want?

He won one million NAIRA and not one million DOLLARS. Tell me, how far can one million Naira take you in present day Nigeria. It may not even pay for one year rent on a decent self contained room & parlor in a decent location.

He did not say when he was a lecturer....but if it was in the pre-2001 era....he won't have earned much. Lecturers were poorly paid back then.

Also....as someone has said upthread....actors of his era did not earn much.Even now...Nollywood is not a rich setup.

Before Obasanjo, a University Professor was earning N4,000 (Four Thousand Naira) per month. There was a lot of Brain drain then. Obasanjo stemmed the drain by initiating a very attractive University Salary Structure, which is reviewed regularly. This is why lecturing in a Federal Nigerian university is now lucrative.

Who says he did not invest the pittance he earned while he was working. People forget how much money people lost when the Stock market crashed. Some people actually committed suicide. A lot of people are still suffering from the crash as a whole lifetime investments and hope for the future has gone.I hear Lari Williams is a Lagos state indigene. If it is true, then I expect the Lagos state government to help him out. Akwa Ibom state would have helped any of its indigene with such plight.
