Veteran Nollywood actor Sunday Afolabi has been candid about the financial hardships he is currently experiencing, speaking on Biola Adebayo's talk show. The actor disclosed that he and his family have been struggling to make ends meet, revealing that he has taken up menial jobs due to a lack of acting roles. Afolabi revealed that he relocated to Badagry in an attempt to purchase a building for his family, but this move has adversely affected his career in acting.

He lost his car, a Nissan Quest, and was unable to repair the shock absorber, leaving him with a motorcycle that he was not accustomed to using, resulting in numerous falls. The actor recalled an incident where a man insulted him for not knowing what to do, prompting him to return to the city. Biola Adebayo, on behalf of Afolabi, appealed to the public and fellow Nollywood colleagues to offer support.

She emphasized her desire to secure Afolabi a better place to live and provide him with a reliable vehicle, such as a Corolla, which would enable him to earn a living. Adebayo stated that they are prepared to assist Afolabi once more, as they have done in the past on Talk to B, to ensure he receives the necessary support.
