Veteran Nollywood actor Tito Harrison has opened up about a painful chapter in his life marked by serious health issues and financial collapse, revealing that through it all, his wife remained his rock.
In a moving interview on Biola Bayo’s podcast, Harrison detailed his battle with a liver condition and chronic ulcer that forced him to liquidate all his assets—his house, cars, and personal belongings—to cover medical expenses. With nowhere else to turn, he and his wife moved in with her mother after they could no longer afford rent.
Through tears, Harrison expressed deep admiration for his wife’s loyalty: “When I was battling liver disease and a chronic ulcer, my wife stood by me when everybody left me. If I come to this world again, it is my wife I will marry,” he said.

His story has sparked strong reactions online:
Fans are hailing his wife as a “real-life heroine.”
Many criticized the cruelty of some Nollywood colleagues.
Calls have grown louder for improved health and welfare support for veteran actors.
