Former President of the Screen Actors Guild, Nii Odoi Mensah, is set to be laid to rest in the capital this weekend.
Nii Odoi Mensah died in China a few months ago, after a battle with kidney problems. The actor had struggled to raise funds for the procedure, before eventually receiving some help from concerned Ghanaians.
The cry of veteran Ghanaian actor and former president of the Ghana Actors Guild, Nii-Odoi Mensah, who was diagnosed with kidney disease some years ago, has been heard.
The ailing actor, who appeared on The Pundit Show on GHOne TV, was stunned as the CEO of Excellence In Broadcasting (EIB) Network, Bola Ray; vowed to support him with an estimated amount of $5,000 to cater for his treatment.
John Dumelo has been making some good moves in the philanthropy lane these days. And honestly I feel he deserves commendation for that, and hopefully he can inspire some of the vain ones to chip in with their two cents.
Nii Odoi Mensah is a former President of the Ghana Actors Guild, and for him to fall into such a predicament is quite unfortunate.
Odoi Mensah is currently seeking for the support of $15,000 to undergo a treatment in China.
The former president of the Ghana Actors Guild was diagnosed with kidney disease some years ago.
Despite the unbearable hardship Ghanaians are going through because of the current power crisis dubbed-Dumsor, which has pushed Yvonne Nelson and several other celebrities to kick-start a social media campaign #DumsorMustStop—former president of the Ghana Actors Guild-Nii Odoi Mensah has come out to say the whole campaign is WRONG and unnecessary…
Mr. Nii Odoi Mensah in an interview with Starr Fm said; ‘though the celebrities have the right to hold the [upcoming #DumsorMustStop] vigil, it is “unnecessary” in his opinion.’
Mr. Odoi Mensah told Starr Entertainment “that the young members of the guild should have sought advice before starting the campaign. He believes President Mahama is making frantic efforts to bring Ghana back to full illumination”.
He added; “in a society where the young will not seek advice from the elderly, then you know we have a problem.”
“Seriously my sister do you think the present government is happy with the situation in which we are? Or, when his Excellency the president came into power, do you think he went to Akosombo to [shut] the dam off, so that we stay in darkness? Or can’t we understand that there is a problem and somebody must fix it and that we all have to help that person to fix it?” he wondered.
He continued; “Ghanaians must learn to be patient in life. You don’t get things on a silver platter. No condition is permanent. The man said he is trying his best to solve the problem, let’s help him solve it!
