Popular Veteran Nigerian actor, Jide Kosoko speaking about his 30 year struggle with diabetes, said he does not want to die.
Kosoko, who stated this while speaking during an interview on the Africa A-List podcast, explained that he had been intentional about managing his health since his diagnosis because he wanted to stay alive.
Responding to criticism over his attendance at social functions while one of his colleagues was ill, Kosoko noted that he also had health challenges.
He urged his colleagues to take care of their health and undergo regular medical check-ups.
“They said someone is sick and Jide Kosoko still went to parties. Why shouldn’t I attend a party?
“I’ve been diabetic since 1996 till date, and I’ve continued to maintain myself because I don’t want to die at all. I was recently informed about a particular test called colonoscopy.
“They said they wanted to check every part of my body to know if there are any traces of cancer. They put me to sleep. And I almost died,” the actor said.
