Why TAMPAN Is Unable To Assist Some Ailing Actors – Mr. Latin
The President of the Theatre Arts and Movies Production Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), Bolaji Amusan better known as Mr Latin has shed light on the association’s inability to provide aid to some sick and struggling actors in the film industry.
During a recent interview on 32FM in Ibadan, Mr. Latin revealed that TAMPAN has already allocated over N10 million towards addressing health challenges faced by actors and reiterated the association’s readiness to extend support.
However, he pointed out that TAMPAN faces difficulties in assisting certain ailing members due to their lack of involvement within the association.
Mr. Latin explained that these actors, due to feelings of shame, do not approach TAMPAN for help, but instead seek assistance through various media channels such as the internet, radio, or television. They are aware that their inactive membership status disqualifies them from receiving support from the group.
“We always come to the aid of all active members. Since I assumed the role of TAMPAN President, we have allocated more than N10 million towards addressing health challenges faced by actors. The individuals you see appealing for money on radio or TV are not active members of the association,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Nollywood actress Toro Aramide took to social media to address the prevalent hypocrisy in the Nigerian movie industry.
In a recent Instagram post, Toro expressed her disappointment with some of her colleagues whom she labeled as hypocrites, following the passing of fellow actor Murphy Afolabi.
Murphy Afolabi passed away on Sunday, May 14, just a few days after celebrating his 49th birthday. In her post, Toro criticized those who promptly mourned the actor’s death but failed to celebrate him while he was alive.
She asserted that some individuals who posted pictures mourning Murphy after his demise did not display the same level of enthusiasm when he marked his birthday merely a few days earlier.
According to Toro, this is one of the reasons why she refrains from forming friendships within the industry.

Speaking in a video message shared via his Instagram account, Yhemolee said, “My friend called me this morning and told me his fiancée is in the hospital struggling to breathe.
“I asked if she had any terminal illness and he said no. He said she checked his phone overnight. My point is, stop checking your partner’s phone, if you die, the person that made you lose your life will move on.
“My friend confirmed to me that if his fiancée went through his phone very well, she might not survive and even if she survives, whenever she remembers what she saw, she would be traumatised.”
