In a public video, Pariolodo expressed his disappointment and frustration with Mr Latin for failing to assist him in his time of need.

He highlighted Mr Latin’s lack of support despite his long-standing presence in the industry, having started his acting career in 1976, long before Mr Latin was even in secondary school.

Pariolodo made it clear that they are not on the same level, both in terms of age and career.

Criticism for Not Extending Help Based on Association

Pariolodo criticized Mr Latin for refusing to help him on the grounds that he is not a member of TAMPAN.

He questioned whether it was TAMPAN that provided assistance to other industry veterans like Iya Gbonkan, Lalude, and others.

Pariolodo emphasized that he did not want to be used as a means for Mr Latin to gain popularity among his fans.

He urged Mr Latin not to focus on clout but rather to genuinely support those in need.

Generous Support from Nigerians

In a turn of events, Pariolodo’s plea for help touched the hearts of many.

Pastor Gabriel, known for his assistance to veteran actress Iya Gbonkan, contacted Pariolodo and went live on video to raise awareness about his situation.

This led to an overwhelming response, with netizens contributing a total of N6 million.

As a result, Pariolodo was presented with a brand new 2014 model Toyota Camry, along with foodstuffs and household items, providing him with some much-needed relief.

A Display of Support and Unity in the Nollywood Community
