See some of the reactions below:
- @thefashygram: “Is this real? I feel terrible for her. She’s such a talented actress. My mom used to make me watch Yoruba movies, that’s how I know her.”
- @AjibolaFaisol01: “Is this Nollywood acting or real life?”
- @AbimbolahOlaibi: “Where is Odunlade now? So many spend millions on weddings while people like this suffer. Nigerians lack love for each other. We’re rich in arrogance, poor in compassion.”
- @Ayomide531909: “So y’all just set up cameras and bring your pain to the internet while enjoying fame? Be serious, mama.”
- @graphicalsoccer: “This is heartbreaking. I always thought she was a well-off woman who acted for fun. I pray help comes her way.”
- @DjL0ngmann: “God forgive me, but she always looks sad — in movies and now in real life. Maybe she should take on happier roles; this sadness is too real.”
- @sheyi_omotayo: “She’s not lying. I’ve seen her around a church on my street in Agbado. The way she walks made me think it was just her size. Didn’t know she was sick. We thought she was well-off.”
- @NgoziPreshy: “Now I see why she’s been off-screen. She’s carrying too much pain. I pray God sends her help soon.”
