In the interview, she said “I have Lupus. It’s not curable. You just have to take medications for the rest of your life. At a point I was exhausted after spending so much, I said I will stop and just wait for death to come, but I braced up for my daughter and have to continue spending the N1.2million on the medication doze weekly to survive.

“I have sold my cars, property, capital for business etc and Funke Akindele has been helpful, Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe and others reached out and have been there…but I still need more support to be able to continue with my medication…”.

Her colleagues took to Instagram page on Wednesday to announce that a GoFundMeaccount has been  created for her.
