Veteran Nigerian actor Jide Kosoko has said he does not want to die, while speaking about his 30-year struggle with diabetes.
Speaking in an interview on the Africa A-List podcast, the
actor explained that he had been intentional about managing his health since
his diagnosis because he wanted to stay alive.
Responding to criticism over his attendance at social
functions while one of his colleagues was ill, Kosoko noted that he also had
health challenges.
He urged his colleagues to take care of their health and
undergo regular medical check-ups.
“They said someone is sick and Jide Kosoko still went to
parties. Why shouldn’t I attend a party?
“I’ve been diabetic since 1996 till date, and I’ve continued
to maintain myself because I don’t want to die at all. I was recently informed
about a particular test called colonoscopy.
“They said they wanted to check every part of my body to
know if there are any traces of cancer. They put me to sleep. And I almost
died,” he said.
