By Nollywood actor, Deyemi Okanlawon has dropped a note of advise for Nigerian men to take care of their health, particularly amid the intense pressure that comes with providing for their family.
In a tweet on Thursday, Okanlawon, who was lamenting the recent death of two of his male friends due to stress, urged men to take care of themselves.
For the movie star, Nigerian men shouldn’t give in to the pressure to “provide” for their dependents.
“Lost two male friends in the past few days… likely stress related. Pls guys take care of yourself, let them not use “provider” to kill you!,” he tweeted.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), stress has become a ‘World Wide Epidemic’. The United Nations had also identified failure to provide as one of the leading causes of stress in men globally.
