Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has taken to social media to issue a stern warning to her colleagues in the industry regarding their lifestyle choices.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, Rita conveyed a strong message, cautioning individuals who engage in excessive smoking and drinking that they shouldn’t expect financial support from her if they face health challenges.
She expressed concern for those who neglect health warnings, emphasising that vital organs such as the kidneys, heart, liver, and lungs are delicate and require proper care.
She wrote, “All these people that are playing with their lives anyhow, smoking and drinking beyond control. When you start having health challenges, I won’t contribute shi shi.”
She highlighted the ubiquity of warnings about the dangers of smoking and excessive drinking, stressing that individuals should take responsibility for their wellbeing.
Quoting the Federal Ministry of Health’s warning that ‘smokers are liable to die young,’ which is prominently displayed on cigarette packets, Rita underscored the need for personal responsibility. She concluded her message with a firm stance, declaring, “I no go give one kobo ooo.”
Her warning serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritising health, and the potential repercussions for those who disregard such concerns.
