Nollywood stars rally support for pregnant actress battling liver disease

Actress Mama No Network has appealed for support for Aunty Ajara, a small-screen actress battling liver disease, saying despite money contributed so far, her condition is deteriorating.

Ajara, who is pregnant, was placed on oxygen in the hospital sparking concerns after a viral video showed her pleading for help.

No Network said: “Good evening everyone. I’m here because of Ajara. It was you guys who advised us that the way we posted RIP is too much. Please, for God’s sake, I’m pleading with you. Ajara is in critical condition.

“This is not content. We need financial support from the public and serious prayers. It’s not that Ajara has not been working, but she has been using most of her earnings to care for her mother, who is suffering from a stroke. The funniest part is that she’s pregnant. I’m also surprised to now hear that she’s also battling a liver-related illness”.

Several Nollywood stars, including Wumi Toriola, Mide Martins, Afeez Owo and Ronke Oshodi Oke, have solicited financial assistance for Ajara, who has been caring for her mother with a stroke.

However, some netizens have criticised the celebrities for seeking public help while they spend lavishly at parties.

Other celebrities who have appealed for support for Ajara include actress Kemity, actor Jamiu Azeez, actress Bimpe Oyebade, and singer Lanre Alewilese.
