Zack Orji, the ace actor, has departed Nigeria to the United Kingdom for a post-surgery assessment.

Orji slumped on December 29 and was admitted to the intensive care unit of the national hospital in Abuja.

In January, Hannatu Musawa, the culture minister, revealed the actor underwent brain surgery and called for support for him.

It was gathered that Orji later underwent two successful brain surgeries and now requires further evaluation abroad.

In a now-viral footage, the film star was spotted with his luggage at the airport before his departure on Friday.

Speaking on Orji’s medical trip in a statement, Emeka Rollas, the president of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for his “fatherly intervention” regarding the wellness of the ailing actor.

He also confirmed that Orji left for the United Kingdom for a post-surgery checkup.

“On behalf of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, the National President, Dr. Ejezie Emeka Rollas, MON, has expressed deep appreciation to His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, GCFR for his fatherly intervention on the health of the former President of the Guild, Mr. Zack Orji who has departed to the United Kingdom for post-surgery assessment,” the statement reads in part.

“Dr. Rollas also commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu for her motherly care towards the veteran actor as well as the son of the President, Seyi Tinubu for his inflicting support.

“Also worthy of his appreciation is the Minister for women affair Barr. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye for her relentless efforts in ensuring Zack Orji gets back on his feet hale and hearty while he equally extended his profound gratitude to his longtime friend, Ahmed Bala for standing by him all through the period.”

The AGN president also thanked Tinubu on the appointments of Ali Nuhu as managing director of Nigeria Film Corporation, Shaibu Husseini; director general of the National Fim and Video Censors Board, and Obi Osika; Director General, Council for Arts and Culture.

Rollas earlier dismissed rumours that Orji had passed away.

Chiwetalu Agu, the ace actor, also slammed people spreading death rumours about Orji.

Brown, in a YouTube live with Kai Cenat, the US content creator, addressed questions about his personal life.

When asked if he was in a relationship, the 35-year-old Virginia-born artiste replied, “I am in multiple”.

Cenat sought clarification, asking, “Like more than one girlfriend?” Brown responded, “Something like that”.

The award-winning singer also emphasized the importance of transparency and honesty in maintaining his polygamous relationships.

“Just keep it a hundred. Be honest,” he added.

This is not the first time Brown would be addressing polygamy.

In an interview with Hot 97, the singer opened up about the challenges of maintaining a monogamous relationship due to his celebrity status and constant exposure to women.

“The hardest part is trying to keep a monogamous relationship, but still wanting to be the 25-year-old sex symbol,” he said.

“You go to shows. You might walk by somebody’s room, and you might see about six or seven of them thangs. And you’re like, dang, I just want to slide in there and have a couple drinks real quick and I’ll tell my girl about it later.”

Born Christopher Maurice Brown, the songwriter is often referred to by his contemporaries as the “king of R&B”.

In an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast, the singer shared his thoughts on the struggles bedeviling Nigeria, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles”.

Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.

“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.

“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.

“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
