He implored colleagues within the Nollywood fraternity to conscientiously attend to their health, noting that the longevity of a profession surpasses that of an individual.
Solade conveyed this message at a commemorative event honoring the late actor, Quadri Oyebamiji, fondly known as Sisi Quadri.
Addressing attendees, he earnestly urged them to cherish their health while they have the opportunity to do so.
According to him, “What concerns me in all of this is good health. There is nobody that will not die someday.
“But, while we are alive, we should take care of ourselves. The lifespan of a job is longer than that of a worker. May God forgive the sins of those that have departed, and may their souls rest in peace.”
Dwelling on the fleeting nature of life, the actor said: “It is the popular ones (that are dying) that we know of. What of those we don’t know?
“It makes me look at myself in a certain way. So, when I die, this is how it is going to be? They would bring cameras and microphones in front of those present and they would talk about me.

“I have come to realise that my health is more important to me than any job, and I often tell producers that.
“If I am at a location and I die, the work will continue. If you are the star of the moment and they are calling you here and there, you need to personally take precautions and rest.
“Some people might say that I am only talking this way because I am no longer in demand like I used to. But, I will always be relevant till I die, because it is God that gave me the talent.”
