Nigerian actress Margaret Bandele Olayinka, popularly known as Iya Gbonkan, has received overwhelming support from Nigerians after making a heartfelt plea for assistance. The veteran Yoruba actress recently expressed her plight, revealing that despite her decades-long acting career, she still does not own a car and relies on public transportation to navigate her daily life.
Iya Gbonkan passionately called upon her fans to appreciate and celebrate her while she is alive, rather than waiting until she passes away to show their support. She emphasized the need for a car and appealed to her fans for assistance, hoping to fulfill this long-standing desire.
In a heartwarming update, it has been reported that the veteran actress has received generous donations from well-wishers across Nigeria. Pastor Gabriel, who came across the video of Iya Gbonkan's plea, reached out to her and subsequently paid her a visit in Osogbo. Striving to make her dream a reality, he quickly mobilized funds from kind-hearted individuals globally.
The initiative has garnered tremendous response, with donations amounting to over 5 million Naira. Notably, Nollywood actresses Abeni Agbon and Tamotiye, who reside nearby, contributed a significant sum of 500,000 Naira towards Iya Gbonkan's car and housing project.
The overwhelming support Iya Gbonkan has received reflects the immense love and admiration Nigerians have for her contribution to the entertainment industry. The collective efforts of Pastor Gabriel, generous individuals worldwide, and fellow actresses are paving the way for Iya Gbonkan to finally acquire a car and fulfill her housing needs. This heartwarming display of unity and compassion highlights the power of community and the willingness of Nigerians to rally together in times of need.
