By Tosin Brown –

Nollywood actor Don Richard has opened up about his recent health challenges, revealing that he became critically ill two years after quitting alcohol and smoking.

In a viral video, the actor urged fans and colleagues to prioritize their well-being, disclosing that despite adopting a healthier lifestyle, he still faced serious health issues.

“I got critically ill two years after I had stopped smoking and drinking alcohol,” he said.

He further explained, “When I visited the general hospital, I discovered that most of the major illnesses affecting public personalities are related to internal organs such as the liver, kidneys, or lungs.”

Don Richard emphasized the long-term effects of lifestyle choices, noting that many people, in their pursuit of wealth, neglect their health until it’s too late.

“A lot of what we consume affects us in the long run. Some people focus on making money but don’t do it wisely. Instead of enjoying the fruits of their hard work, they end up spending that money treating illnesses,” he said.

“That’s why you see many wealthy people depending on medication,” he concluded.
