From Stardom to Shadows: The Unseen Battle of Jerry Williams
Life, they say, has a way of testing you.
Sometimes, it throws you into situations you never thought possible.
Situations you might not be able to escape from easily.
You have to use your head.
Very well.
Do not intentionally court trouble.
Or anything that could trap you.
Look at what happened to Jerry Williams.
Just look at him now.
He used to be so vibrant.
So full of life.
One of the most talented actors in Nollywood.
If you watched movies back then.
You definitely watched a Jerry Williams movie.
People would say if you haven’t seen his films.
You haven’t truly watched Nigerian movies.
But then.
Something changed.
What is going on?
Nobody heard anything about him.
Not for a long time.
Ever since the rumors started.
About substance use.
Or whatever it was.
Some people said it was spiritual issues.
Others claimed someone wanted to buy his career.
They said he was doing too well.
Facing the show.
Excelling in movies.
People always wanted him in their films.
He was doing incredibly well.
Honestly.
Nobody seemed to know exactly what happened.
What led him down this path.
This decline.
A man named Stanley Ontop, also known as Jambi.
He spoke out.
He doesn’t always make sense, some might say.
But on this matter.
He made perfect sense.
He had been asking about Jerry Williams.
Soliciting for him.
For quite a long time.
He was asking.
How is this guy?
See how they just abandoned him.
Nobody is asking after him.
Nobody wants to know what’s up with him.
They don’t care.
They have moved on.
They have moved on, guys.
That’s how life is.
That’s how life can be.
Life ahead.
When things like this happen.
That’s when you truly know.
Man, you are on your own.
You are on your own.
Life does not wait for you.
Look at Jerry Williams now.
So vibrant before.
So hardworking.
How did he get himself into this situation?
It’s still hard to understand.
They said he did substances.
He did one thing or another.
How did he get here?
To the extent that he is now so down.
He is selling his properties.
He is very, very down.
With one or two things.
Things that are hard to name.
Stanley Ontop told his people.
Be smart.
Just listen to what he had to say.
He reminded everyone.
Of when he was posting about Jerry Williams before.
Asking for help.
He even volunteered himself.
He offered to bring Jerry Williams to his house.
To take care of him himself.
So that he would stop doing other related substances.
He brought out his time.
He brought out his money.
He said he was going to spend his own money.
He just wanted consent.
From the parents.
From the family.
From the industry.
To take care of him.
And what happened?
He got bashed.
They started bashing him.
They started calling him a clout chaser.
Just chasing clout online.
On top of his genuine offer of help.
Help he wanted to render.
To someone whose village or family he didn’t even know.
Not just because they were in the same industry.
He wanted to help.
Now, he asked.
Where is Jerry Williams?
Where is Jerry Williams now?
He was casting this question out there.
Because, he warned.
If anything happens to this guy.
He is going to drag.
He is going to so much drag Nollywood people online.
He knew the people.
The ones who went behind his back.
And said that Ontop was chasing clout with Jerry Williams‘s name.
If anything happens to Jerry Williams.
As God lives.
He is going to drag.
So much drag those people.
They will beg him.
They will report him to the police.
Until they get tired.
He said the people in their industry.
Are so, so, so something.
And it’s not taking them anywhere.
Where is Jerry Williams?
He kept asking.
Where is he?
You guys have left him.
He came out to help him.
The same people castigated him.
Talked rubbish about him.
Destroyed his name.
Even went as far as going on social media.
Trying to demean his character.
Still.
He sees the push.
To help Jerry Williams.
Now.
All of us have left him.
Where is Jerry Williams?
The last time he heard.
Somebody said he has sold everything in his house.
Everything.
He doesn’t have anything in his house anymore.
Anything at all.
And he heard that somebody rented an apartment for him.
A two-bedroom apartment.
That woman in London.
The one who keeps deceiving Jerry Williams.
Where is she now?
He is still doing what he knows best.
He is still doing it.
This guy.
Best known as Okono.
Best known as Mr. Packaging.
He is out here now.
Pleading for roles.
Asking you guys to give him jobs.
He was asking for money.
Give him a role.
Let him act in movies.
He knows he has his own flaws.
Every man.
Every human has their flaws.
But he needs help.
Not when he is posting pictures from a sick bed.
That’s when people start caring.
He needs help now.
Just give him a job.
All of you.
Back to back.
Every day.
Give him work.
He wasn’t asking for financial help before.
But now.
They have pushed him to the wall.
He is asking for financial help.
This guy doesn’t have a house.
He doesn’t have a place to sleep.
Not in Lagos.
Not anywhere.
He doesn’t have his own home.
He barely fits.
He sleeps in his car.
He goes to sleep in his car.
Till date.
He doesn’t have an apartment.
Some of his friends have businesses.
If he comes.
He just crashes there.
Stays for a few days.
And then goes back to staying in his car.
He just packs his car and shops.
When you see this Nollywood industry.
They don’t just send anybody.
Just like you heard from Stanley Ontop.
They blacklisted this guy.
For about 10 years now.
He has not been filming.
And life has not really been fair to him.
According to him.
He has been feeding from hand to mouth.
It has been a begging life.
You can imagine.
This guy.
This man right here.
When the video creator was growing up.
They used to watch his movies.
He was very talented.
They went to his page.
Took their time.
Went down his page.
He is really good.
They saw some of the awards he won.
During the time when he was filming.
But right now.
This man is eating from hand to mouth.
They heard that he does not even have a house currently.
That people are donating for him.
To rent a house.
Now he is begging Nollywood.
To please start giving him jobs.
Can you imagine?
A grownup man like this.
They are calling him for a job.
To pay him 10,000 naira.
This man.
And the video creator doubted if he is even married.
They doubted it.
Because he is not saying anything about family.
Married life.
His kids.
His wife.
He is not saying anything.
Yes.
They doubted if he is married.
Because he is of age.
He should be married.
Thank God he decided to speak up.
Because according to him.
He said he was considering ending his life.
My people.
It actually got to that extent.
You see.
In this life.
One needs to be very, very prayerful.
Or perhaps.
Life just happens.
If life happened to you like this.
You would wonder.
If something wasn’t done to your head.
If someone had told this man.
Years ago.
That his life would turn out this way.
He wouldn’t have believed it.
Because of the way he was blooming.
And glamouring.
During that time.
When he was still filming.
When he was still in Nollywood.
When he was still doing well.
He wouldn’t have believed it for a second.
But now.
Life has happened to him.
But thank God that he decided to come out.
And speak out.
And the video creator trusts Nigerians.
They are already soliciting for him.
They are already helping him.
He has found a house presently.
Now he has moved to Lagos.
And he has found a house.
And people are donating money for him.
They want to rent an apartment for him.
Even Pame Doi.
Even sent him money.
1 million naira.
The hope is that he wants to start a business.
And also incorporate this content thing.
Because there is money in content.
If he starts doing content.
And starts getting engagement.
He would bounce back for sure.
He will.
