Nollywood actor Buchi Franklin has shared an emotional message about grief, love, and the importance of appreciating parents while they are still alive.

Speaking in a heartfelt moment during an interview, the actor revealed that losing someone close made him truly understand the meaning of love and p@in.

“My mom raised me right,” he said before opening up about his personal loss.

“Call them, make them laugh, because a time will come when you will wish you had the opportunity to just play with them again,” he added.
