Nollywood actor Don Richard has opened up about his struggles and current state of hardship. In an emotional interview with Biola Bayo on her podcast, Talk to B, the veteran actor revealed that he has lost everything and is now completely broke.
He shared that his wife left him because of his financial situation. Don Richard also disclosed that he pleaded with his estranged wife to take care of their children, as he was battling suicidal thoughts.
He revealed that he sold his car for N1.5 million and had to trek for eight months, moving daily on foot from Bariga to Chemist, Unilag, Iwaya, Sabo, Yaba, and Ojuelegba.
“My kidney is having issues. I came out and met my wife and burst into tears. I told my wife ‘Mummy twins, another man is a lucky man. She is also avoiding me because I am broke. With the way that I am, unknown to me that I will leave.
I sold my car for N1.5 million.
God’s plan for any marriage is for better or worse. Most people don’t prepare for bad times; they only prepare for good ones.
I would walk from Bariga to Chemist to Unilag, Iwaya, Sabo, Yaba, Ojuelegba, then take a cab through the bridge. I did it for eight months.
The doctor spoke to me and I was scared. Looking for 30 million. I was like God, I don’t have such an amount. You are my life secret. If you leave me, people will know my secret.
A friend asked me what I wanted, and I told him to look for a place for me to rest, even if it’s borrowed”.
