Why TAMPAN Is Unable To Assist Some Ailing Actors – Mr. Latin

Published

on

 

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.

Skit Maker Ijoba Lande Reportedly Missing

Popular Nigerian comedian and skit maker, Ganiyu Morufu, better known as Ijoba Lande, has alleged that his estranged wife, Dara, was involved in multiple affairs, claiming to have video evidence of her encounters with several men.

During an Instagram livestream interview with media personality Daddy Freeze on Monday night, Lande disclosed that he has eight videos showing different men sleeping with Dara, aside from Yoruba Nollywood actor Baba Tee, who recently admitted to being intimate with her.

“I have eight videos of other men sleeping with my wife aside from Baba Tee. It’s so painful. I watched how these men were spanking her,” Lande stated.

The comedian, visibly emotional, expressed his disappointment and said the betrayal had deeply affected him.

“So, if she behaves like that as a single mother, it does not mean all single mothers will behave like that. It is just on her will to be promiscuous.

“Since I left her, no woman appeals to me anymore; I have been avoiding all women. I challenge anybody to admit seeing me with any lady in a hotel since this incident happened. I’m embittered with the whole situation. She’s a bad woman,” he added.

Lande also revealed that he has been in possession of Baba Tee’s alleged sex tape with Dara for four months and suggested that he might release it soon.

The controversy initially gained traction after Baba Tee, who had previously denied any involvement with Dara, later admitted to having a brief sexual encounter with her.

His confession contradicted his earlier claim that Lande was defaming him and should provide evidence or face legal action.

Lande further alleged that his wife’s infidelity was extensive, stating that at least 21 men in the entertainment industry had been with her.

In response, Dara denied engaging in any sexual activity with Baba Tee, insisting that the only physical contact they had was when she sat on his lap during a “Truth or Dare” game initiated by her friend, Marygold.

“The first time I met Baba Tee was in July last year when Marygold told me we should go to his house because she wanted to invite him to the launching of her movie. When we got there, Baba Tee didn’t know I was Lande’s wife, we greeted, and Marygold said she wanted to drink alcohol.

“There was no alcohol in the house, so Marygold and Baba Tee’s driver went to buy it while I sat down in the living room. Baba Tee and I didn’t talk till they returned.

PWhen Marygold entered the house, she said we should start a ‘Truth or Dare’ game. I didn’t want to, but she encouraged me, so I told Baba Tee that I was Lande’s wife, and we started the game.

“As the game was going on, Marygold stripped herself naked and gave Baba Tee a BJ. By then, I had already drunk 10 shots of alcohol while Marygold and Baba Tee were smoking ‘Igbo’ (marijuana). Marygold then dared Baba Tee to give me a doggy style, so Baba Tee went to get a condom.

“When he returned, I told him I would not allow doggy, but I would sit on him. We then told Marygold to turn to the wall so she wouldn’t watch us. I only sat on his lap; we didn’t do anything,” she explained.
