Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola has raised concerns about the deteriorating health of veteran actress Obiqgheli Molobe.
Known for her support towards ailing veterans in the industry, Foluke took to her Instagram live video to seek financial assistance for Obiqgheli and her children, revealing that the actress is suffering from a partial stroke.
This article highlights the details shared by Foluke and sheds light on Obiqgheli’s health condition.
Obiqgheli Molobe’s Health Condition:
Foluke Daramola explained that Obiqgheli Molobe underwent surgery and now has iron in her leg.
Prior to the stroke, she was already battling diabetes and high blood pressure.
Obiqgheli herself described her situation as a partial stroke, with her right leg and hand being affected.
She expressed her inability to use her right foot since the incident, leaving her partially paralyzed.
Foluke Daramola Defends Her Support:
In the past, Foluke Daramola faced criticism and trolling for providing assistance to her ailing senior colleague, Iya Ibeji Omo Arayele.
Despite the backlash and rumors surrounding her colleague’s accommodation, which allegedly involved a pastor’s involvement, Foluke stood her ground and defended her actions.
The negative comments prompted her to temporarily disable the comments section on her Instagram page.
Foluke’s Response to Trolls:
Expressing her frustration with the ongoing criticism, Foluke took to her Instagram live video to address the trolls directly.
She firmly warned them to refrain from posting derogatory comments on her page, reiterating her commitment to helping those in need within the industry.
Veteran Fadeyi Oloro’s Plea for Help:
Last year, Yoruba actor Fadeyi Oloro also reached out for assistance regarding his declining health.
In an Instagram live session with media personality Daddy Freeze, he appealed to Nigerians for financial support.
Desperate to overcome his long-term illness, Fadeyi Oloro sought assistance from Daddy Freeze and his fans, both in Nigeria and abroad.
Pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s Assistance Offer:
Moved by Fadeyi Oloro’s plea, UK clergyman Pastor Tobi Adegboyega stepped forward to provide help.
Daddy Freeze facilitated their introduction through another Instagram live session.
Pastor Adegboyega, who had cherished Fadeyi Oloro’s movies during his childhood, pledged three million nairas and additional support to assist the actor.
Sadly, despite the promised aid, Fadeyi Oloro succumbed to his illness and passed away in March.
Conclusion:
Foluke Daramola’s recent plea for financial assistance for Obiqgheli Molobe highlights the challenges faced by ailing veterans in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
It also sheds light on the criticism and backlash faced by individuals who extend their support to those in need.
The case of Fadeyi Oloro serves as a reminder of the unfortunate reality that not all battles with illness can be won, despite the efforts made by well-meaning individuals and organizations.
