The ailing veteran Nollywood actor of Village Headmaster fame, Tunde Alabi, who has been laying critically ill, over complications from diabetes at the Lagos General Hospital has had one of his legs amputated.
The surgery to save the Thespian from further complication by amputating one of his leg took place yesterday, Monday, October 24, 2016. There were several efforts to checkmate the amputation surgery but all failed as they seemed to have come rather too late.
According to the veteran actor’s colleague, Paul Julius, who is the person solely taking care of him, the actor has no home to go back to after the surgery. “ As I speak with you, the amputated leg has just been taken to the mortuary. But that is not our major concern right now but where he will return to as his home. Right now, he has no family, no friend that can take him in. He is homeless,” he said.
“ Our effort to reach the governor of Lagos State, his home tate, has only proven partially successful as nothing definitive has come off it. The governor knows Uncle Tunde and will be willing to help but bottlenecks of bureaucracy has not helped matters” he added. Tunde Alabi has been on the acting scene since the glorious days of television drama in Nigeria and he’s today one of the last of that octopus called The Village Headmaster, a television drama that was the in-thing in its days on National Television.
His role in the now rested soap opera ‘PALACE’ produced by Ralph Nwadike was one that viewers will not forget in haste

DeleteSimply pathetic. No kids, wife, siblings, cousins, or friends? Na wa. I'm sure he has but they prolly abandoned him. This is sad.
DeleteLagos state should arrange section 8 kinda home for cases like this. Especially for veterans who are known in the society.
This is so terrible.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... When they are enjoying the fame.... They don't think about their tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me???
DeleteU don't know this lan nd u are talking about when they are enjoying d fame, he is a very old actor
DeleteThat's one thing with some people, when they are misbehaving they won't think of their future. Pray he gets help and let this serve as a deterent to others
DeleteThis man*

ReplyDeleteGet well soon. People should start watching what goes into there mouth Diabetes is a bitch...
ReplyDeleteGo and read more about diabetes Nne,his leg was amputated due to maybe a,wound on his leg or toes that refused to heal due to diabetes.Diabetes isn't all about what u eat rather malfunction of the pancreas to produce insulin for glucose regularization in the blood.His own is more of old age diabetes.
DeleteDietitian Nezz, you need the reading more than Intelligentia. What part of her sentence did you not understand?
DeleteYes! It really doesn't matter what you eat. Eat less, little portion mix with vegetables, reduce carbs and do some walking.
DeleteThe way una dey eat for Naija it's like no other food coming for another 3 days, all y'all do is fuck, benched drink, and double loads.
This is so touching. I pray that God send helpers your way!

ReplyDeleteHomeless? Does he not have grown up kids that can take care of him?
This man can't claim not to have a family except of they are all dead. The man no marry? He no born pikin? No brothers, sisters, uncles, aunties? Well his past life must be hunting him. How did he live his youthful life?
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, I pray God have mercy on you uncle Tunde. I pray to God, to forgive your past sins and send help to you. Get well soon.
He gave all his money to runs and church. Ashawo and brainwashers don take all his money finished. Oga Tunde, go meet the people wen you gave all your money to for help.
DeleteHe has no family, no friends... How sad. Help is coming his way...
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval.
very sad
ReplyDeleteWhich family? Some families only come around when there is plenty but when you have nothing they turn their back.
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets all the help he needs. Complications arising from diabetes is bad cos then it will be a 50/50 chance of survival unless adequate step is taken.
I wish him quick recovery.
Eg my papa family.
DeleteOh lord, please help tunde, I pray he survives
ReplyDeleteHow can he not have a family?
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad.Hes old and needs someone to take care of him.
No children? Oh God

DeleteNa wah oh...
ReplyDeleteSo he didn't marry?
He never had any child /children?
No uncles,brothers,nephews,nieces,aunties?😖
Are u saying this man doesn't have wife and children? What did he do with his youth? Na wa o. May God send helpers his way amen.

ReplyDeleteHow can he not have a family? Or even siblings or relatives, did he fall from heaven. Oh God pls provide a helper
ReplyDeleteTunde Alabi great actor i pray help comes his way.
ReplyDeleteCame across like he's been abandoned by his loved ones, who knows how he's treated everyone in his life all the while. Anyway, I pray he gets all the help needed
ReplyDeleteMrsBee
If he dies tomorrow, the money to buy cows for his burial would surface.
ReplyDeleteHorrible idiots.
Aw! This is so sad. Kai!
ReplyDeleteSome should pls help
ReplyDeleteSaw him around adetola aguda sometime last year. He was being supported by another colleague, an actor but can't remember his name. He was limping. No fame, no family, that's so bad.
ReplyDeleteMay help his way
ReplyDeleteJst ystdy wen Uti ws talking nonsense, I felt sorry for him...ds is jst a good example of d consequence of living a wayward life during ones youthful age. Youths bcom reckless jst bcos dey hv fame nd money bt dey forget dt a tym wld com wen d ills of dea youth will hunt dem...Uncle Tunde, I wish u speedy recovery...
ReplyDeleteNah this is too much. No one really knows what went wrong here. Some people just get dealt unfairly in life. He may not have lived recklessly, no one really knows.
DeleteMay God help him
ReplyDeleteSo very sad and pathetic. This familylessness is the one sorerest point here. Yes some People abandoned like this are always men who didn't marry because they blatantly refused and avoided or kept away from family even after being pestered by their families and friends to marry.
ReplyDeleteBut if a man marries and is close to family members, even if he had no children or lived an unacceptable lifestyle, he won't be totally abandoned in his time of need like this.
May God save him
Eeyaa i hope he gets all the help he needs! But how come at his age, he has no kids, no wife, no family at all.. seems somehow
ReplyDeleteHomeless? no family? how is this possible? this is so sad.
ReplyDeleteI pray God heals him completely.
May help locate him. Amen
ReplyDeleteHmmm lawd aff messi
ReplyDeleteOmg!i know uncle T one on one,he was my mentor, a very humble man,i had his contact but I lost d phone,Stella pls is there a way one can get his account details,am so not happy right now,God will come through for u uncle T
ReplyDeletePls send Stella a private mail to request his contact or account details.
DeleteMay God bless this colleague that's taking care of him.
ReplyDeleteMay he get the help and healing he needs.
Sad!
Why so many assumptions? Many ppl just don't want to deal with sick ppl especially ifthey are poor. If he was well off his ppl would be very present, or even a fake claiming to be family. The prayer of long life must always mention good health in mind, body and spirit. Many pray for long life and forget to ask for good health. I hope his ppl will come and take him home. Diabetes is just awful, not everyday yam and cassava, some days a lil steam cabbage and carrots, or a salad. Not everyday dumping in food, some days fast and give your body a rest.
ReplyDeleteHis still not having a family is a wonder to me, Wishing him speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteWas this not the same procedure the late actor Pete Eneh went through before his demise from the amputated leg pain?
ReplyDeleteI hope he gets help quickly.
Where are his family? his village members nko? or he was born in an orphanage? Someone should communicate on the whereabouts of his family.
I wish you quick recovery Sir.
