The actress made the plea in a video that began circulating on social media on Tuesday.
Anijekwu revealed that this is the second time she has been diagnosed with cancer, adding that the disease has now spread to different parts of her body.

She said, “I have cancer in 2023 (sic). I did my surgery and took chemotherapy, but later it came back again. I’ve been in and out of the hospital. The doctor recently told me it has reached my bones, and the treatment is now much more expensive,” she said.
“I need to live. I need to survive. I’m asking Nigerians to please help me. Anyone that can help, please, I need help. Even my hands have swollen. The cancer has affected both breasts. I need to live. Please help me. I need to survive.
“Your one naira, your two naira can add up to something reasonable for me to get the proper treatment for this cancer. I’m begging you, please help me.”

Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, says he would still have built a career in the entertainment industry even if music had not worked out for him.
Davido made this disclosure during an interview with PlayKisstra.
He also revealed that his passion for show business would have steered him toward running a record label or a media company, rather than performing.
“I’d probably be a label owner or have a media house because I’ve always loved entertainment. Even if I was working in my daddy’s office, I can see myself having a side business like a music label just because I love music,” he said.
The Grammy-nominated artist disclosed that he holds a degree in business management and believes he could have pursued a corporate career if necessary.
“I have a degree. I have a BSc in Business Management, so I can go to Barclays here and try to get a job. You know what I’m saying? I could get a job. I can actually get a job. I got a résumé.”
DAILY POST recalls that Davido rose to fame in 2012 after releasing ‘Dami Duro,’ the second single from his debut album ‘Omo Baba Olowo’.

Former Portugal international, Ricardo Quaresma, has launched an attack on coach Roberto Martinez after the country’s elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Quaresma insisted that Portugal has never played a great game since Martinez was appointed head coach.
He added that he saw 50 tactics under Martinez, and none of them worked.
Recall that Portugal exited the World Cup after losing 1-0 to Spain in the Round of 16 yesterday.
After Portugal’s defeat, Martinez parted ways with the national team.
“For me, everything’s gone wrong from the beginning until now… Substitutions (were made) that I don’t understand,” Quaresma told LiveModeTV (via O Jogo).
“I’m tired of saying this, but Martinez never filled my eyes. Like it or dislike it, I don’t want to know whether they (the players) are upset or not, but we must have much more joy in this.
“Since Martinez arrived, I have not seen the national team play a great game. Saw 50 tactics, none of them worked.”
