Nollywood actress Omotunde Ogundimu says Funke Akindele makes an unexpected, large donation to support her cervical cancer treatment. In a social media post, Ogundimu says Akindele called her and then provided money toward her medical expenses, prompting her to thank and pray for the colleague.
Ogundimu had gone public in July about her battle with cervical cancer and appealed for financial assistance. Multiple outlets report that her appeal comes amid broader public campaigns and donations tied to other Nigerian entertainers’ cancer cases. The coverage places Akindele’s gesture within this wider context of fundraising efforts, including recent reports of support for other actors.
While all accounts focus on Ogundimu’s gratitude and Akindele’s “huge sum,” they differ in emphasis: some highlight the surprise element of Akindele’s call and donation, while others focus more on Ogundimu’s earlier public request and the broader pattern of celebrity-linked cancer support in Nigeria.
