Popular Nollywood stars, including Wumi Toriola, Mide Martins, Afeez Owo, and Ronke Oshodi Oke, have solicited financial assistance for small-screen actress Aunty Ajara amid her battle with liver disease.
DAILY POST reports that Aunty Ajara was seen in a viral video on social media, begging the general public to save her life.
The pregnant Ajara, who was placed on oxygen in the hospital, was heard saying, “Please help me.”
Shortly after the short video surfaced online, many Nollywood stars took to their individual social media pages to solicit financial support for her.
Reacting to the development, netizens berated the celebrities for constantly seeking public help for colleagues while they waste bundles of money at parties.
Speaking amid the backlash, actress Mama No Network, in a video on her Instagram page, explained that they have contributed over N5 million for the ailing actress, but her health keeps deteriorating.
Revealing the nature of her sickness, No Network said: “Good evening everyone. I’m here because of Ajara. It was you guys who advised us that the way we posted RIP is too much. Please, for God’s sake, I’m pleading with you. Ajara is in critical condition.
“This is not content. We need financial support from the public and serious prayers. It’s not that Ajara has not been working, but she has been using most of her earnings to care for her mother, who is suffering from a stroke. The funniest part is that she’s pregnant. I’m also surprised to now hear that she’s also battling a liver-related illness,” she said.
Celebrities who also solicited help for her include actress Kemity, actor Jamiu Azeez, actress Bimpe Oyebade, and singer Lanre Alewilese, among others.
