Veteran Nollywood actor, Hanks Anuku has said he has been jobless for years.

The thespian, who was reacting to the viral video of him working as a fuel attendant at gas station in Delta State, said despite being a legend, he has been feeding from hand to mouth.


Speaking in a video message making the rounds on social media, Anuku called on the Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and his fans to come to his aid.


He said,
“I have worked for this country. I have attained the height of being a legend. But I’ve had no job for, God knows, how many years. And I expect that Nigerians will also know that I did it all for them.

“I just gonna ask Governor Sheriff [Oborevwori] to please send to me. And my fans who truly love and appreciate the works I’ve done for them, if you think you truly love me, may God help you all to help me.”

He didn't cry out

If you had watched that video well on Instagram, it was like it was his right to request for donations from Nigerians for his upkeep and that of his family. He wasn't even humble. When he was acting... Wasn't he paid... Doesn't he have investments...

Anyway my opinion... Anyone who donates to his way should pray the money is being used positively and not for drugs ..

I thought all these actors and actresses are big time millionaires. Honestly that was my believe.
This guy was and still one of the biggest Nollywood actors of all time.
May and grace locate him.

Ankaluku, are you ready to go for rehab?
After thorough vetting for you, you go get job.
But honestly, job no dey Nigeria o. That's why a man must save well, invest well for future and avoid gambling, drugs, alcohol, womanizing. They gulp up money.

Oh no sir. You do not need a job. You need to go into rehab and get cleaned.

Folks are heartless! This is the same dude that it was rumored that he needed help dealing with his way of life and one actress came out to argue that he was ok and that the man we saw at the lowest ebb of life was actually acting in a movie.

If they had been honest and asked for help on this talented man's behalf, knowing Nigerians, they would have come out generously to help. But they decided that it was better to save face than accept the obvious truth, so they lied. This is sad.

I wish there was something rusty can be done for this man to get cleaned.

Sir, you do not need a job, you need to fix yourself!

That's why it's good to make good investments when you make money as a super star! If you don't plan your life and finances, it will definitely get to this point.


If you want to start a business but don't have huge capital, I have something for you! You can my shoe dropshipping business right now and make a ton of money from shoe business. The sweet thing is that you don't need to handle anything, just get the orders from your customers and I will pack and process it, you keep the profit... Sweet!

Were these people not investing at all when they were doing well? Did he not build a house to rent or buy shares or something that he could fall back on in future? All they believed that things would be all rosy forever? All these high profile life styles are not sustainable. It is better to live a modest life when you are making it and invest for the future!
