Veteran Nollywood actor, Tito Harrison, has revealed that liver disease and a chronic ulcer left him penniless. He recently shared how both sicknesses forced him to stay bedridden for a long time.
Speaking during an emotional interview on Biola Bayo’s Talk To B show, Tito said that his liver disease and ulcer did not just take a massive toll on his body and his family, it also forced him to sell everything he owned, including his house and cars.
According to him, it was a very painful phase of his life that he wouldn’t wish on his enemy, and he even had to move into a rented house at some point after losing everything.
“I sold my house, car, and everything I had to pay hospital bills. After moving to a rented house, I couldn’t afford the rent anymore, so we had to stay at my mother-in-law’s place,” he said.
The actor thanked his wife for standing by him during his trying moment, describing her as his greatest blessing who remained loyal when everyone else fled.
“The luck I had was my wife. When I was battling with liver disease and a chronic ulcer, my wife stood by me when everybody left me. It is good to have a good wife. If I come to this world again, it is my wife I will marry,” Tito said.

He then called out his insensitive colleagues in the industry who mocked his condition and ridiculed him in the media.
Tito expressed his shock at the mockery on display when fellow actors spoke about his situation during different interviews.
The movie star concluded by saying he never understood them trying to ruin his reputation to the press, especially when it was already bad enough that they failed to rally around him during a difficult period.
“Some people granted an interview saying, ‘It is finished for Tito Harrison, he’s now living with his mother-in-law.’ I have the testimony to that. I didn’t throw away the magazine. Even if it had been so, if you can’t rally around me, you don’t vilify me or kill my reputation,” he added.
