Veteran Nigerian actress, Margaret Bandele Olayinka, known better as Iya Gbonkan, has appealed to well-meaning Nigerians to buy a car for her.
The 64-year-old actress, who is known for her scary roles, in a viral video, lamented about having a car of her own, despite spending over a decade in the Nigerian movie industry.
She added that despite her age and experience, she still relies on walking and public transportation to get around from one place to another.
Iya Gbonkan urged Nigerians, particularly her fans, to honour her with a car while she is still alive, instead of waiting to celebrate her or offer grand gestures when she dies.
“I have been acting for decades, yet I don’t have a car. I rely on buses every day. If I were to die now, you would slaughter a cow. Celebrate me now while I am alive. I need a car from my fans,” she said in part.
