"I've been diagnosed with hypertension, so I have to relocate from Nigeria' - Kunle Afolayan

Sometime in March, prolific Nollywood director Kunle Afolayan took to
his Facebook page to express his frustration about Nigeria and his
plans to relocate as he could no longer bear the hardship.

Well, it looks like he's made up his mind to really relocate. In a
recent interview with Netng, he said he has been diagnosed with
hypertension and must relocate. When asked if his relocation would not
discourage those who are looking up to him, Kunle said:

"I have been diagnosed with hypertension, so I should stay here and
die because I want to impress people? It isn't about people anymore.
It is now about me and my health. I have proven that certain things
can be done in this country but you have to use blood and sweat. All
the projects I have done, I have had to use these two. For me to
achieve this, whoever is ready to use blood and sweat too might be
able to achieve same feat. But we don't have the same strength. Right
now I am overwhelmed in a way and I can function from anywhere. I can
go to Hollywood and be lecturing African cinema or go to Gambia and be
making film or move to Ghana. I love this country which is why I am
still here. I discourage people form traveling abroad but health is
wealth. I think it is important that I am in the right frame of mind
for health reasons" he said
