Veteran Nollywood actor, Zack Orji, has described as a ‘lie from the pit of hell’ rumours of his death while he was on his sick bed.
Speaking in a recent interview on Channels Television, Orji
stated that social media has made people to be reckless to the extent of
spreading fake news.
He disclosed that after the rumours broke out, he began
receiving calls from different concerned fellows who wanted to confirm if it
was true.
“About a week ago or more than that, I don’t know who
originated that lie, I call it a lie from the pit of hell that well; not
myself, they had passed away, and then I saw it and I started receiving all
kind of calls even calls from people I haven’t heard from for years, most of
them were just concerned, they wanted to find out if it was true and all of
that,” the actor said.
Orji however said he does not want to waste his time
accousting anybody for spreading such news as he has more important things to
do with his life and time.
“I can only say that sometimes, social media has made people
be so reckless and callous to the point of spreading fake news just to grow
their page. I believe that’s what that person did. And it happened at the time
when we lost some of our colleagues, the latest one being Amaechi Munagor …..
But thank God that our lives are not with men, our lives are with God, it is
God that is the keeper and strength of our lives. Thank God that it is not my
time yet. I don’t want to waste my time accousting anybody for that lie. I just
let it go because I have more important things to do with my life and time. ”
Orji who is granting the first interview about his health
also recounted some of the dark moments he experienced before the surgery that
eventually saved his life.
