Veteran Yoruba actress Margaret Bandele Olayinka, better known by her stage as Iya Gbonkan, received a deluge of sympathy from Nigerians after she made a plea for assistance.
The well-known actress, who has been in the entertainment business for many years, recently discussed her troubles with not having a car and having to rely on public transit.
Iya Gbonkan stated her desire for admirers to celebrate her while she is still alive rather than waiting to commemorate her after her passing in a touching plea that was covered by Gist Reel last month.
Despite her successful acting career, she was open about her daily routine of boarding buses to get where she needed to go.
Nigerians came together to support Iya Gbonkan after being moved by her story.
According to a recent update, Pastor Gabriel personally visited the actress in Osogbo after getting wind of the viral video and reaching out to her.
He was moved by compassion and took action right away to raise money from kind people all over the world to fulfill her ambition of having an automobile.
The public’s response has been overwhelming, and donations are pouring in to help Iya Gbonkan with her automobile and house projects.
According to the most recent estimates, her cause has received donations totaling more than 5 million Naira.
This kind act demonstrates the compassion and cohesion of Nigerians, who banded together to support a cherished veteran actress.
Along with the nice donations from strangers, neighboring neighbors and fellow Nollywood actresses Abeni Agbon and Tamotiye also showed their support by donating 500,000 Naira to Iya Gbonkan’s cause.
