Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has donated a “huge amount of money” to support her colleague Omotunde Ogundimu’s treatment for cervical cancer.
Ogundimu, who revealed in July that she was battling cervical cancer, had appealed to Nigerians for financial assistance to fund her treatment.
In an Instagram post on Thursday, the actress said Akindele unexpectedly called her and later donated money towards her medical care.
“The first call I got this morning was from Funke. Was really surprised cos I wasn’t expecting it,” she said.
“Chaiiiii God is just too good to me ooooo. My wonderful people ẹ jọ̀ọ́ ẹ ba mi dúpẹ́ gan ni.
“Pls help me pray for @funkejenifaakindele for blessing me this morning towards my cancer treatment; she gave me a huge amount of money ni o haaaaa mi o expect ẹ oooooooo.”
Ogundimu also prayed for Akindele, whom she described as “Iya ibeji”.
“Iya ibeji, God will never forsake you lailai, oni ri ogun aisan loruko Jesu. Aanu a ma wa ẹ ri ni gbogbo ona,” she added.
“You will forever continue to grow from strength to strength, ipa aye koni ka ẹ o. Modupe gan ni o mo mọ loore.”
Ogundimu’s appeal comes amid reports of Nigerian actors seeking financial support for cancer treatment.
Actress Destiny Etiko recently launched a campaign for actor Ikechukwu Nweke, who disclosed in July that he was battling colon cancer. Donations for his treatment have since exceeded N13 million.
Actress Cynthia Anijekwu also received over N13 million after appealing for financial support for her cancer treatment in July.
