Over the past few years, Kunle Afod has won the hearts of many with his constant love and support for Nollywood veterans.
Two months ago, Kunle had paid a condolence visit to his senior colleague, Pa Tunbosun Odunsi, following the loss of his wife. On his Instagram page, he shared a video of the emotional visit to Ibadan, which left many in tears. See the video below.
Last year, Afod was left in awe after visiting veteran actor Charles Olumo, before his death. He revealed that he visited the veteran to check up on him, and was surprised to see him in great spirits, even going as far as jumping. Impressed, Kunle prayed that he experience such grace.
In January, he made a passionate appeal to his colleagues over veteran Iya Niwen after he visited her in Ibadan. He expressed his excitement to finally meet her as he appealed to his colleagues to help bring her back on a movie set.
He had also paid a surprise visit to Lere Paimo, also known as Eda Onile Ola, as he expressed how excited he was visiting the veteran’s home for the first time. He had called for help for the veteran, and to his surprise, many Nigerians responded and donated cash gifts to the actor.
