Veteran Nollywood actress, Margaret Bandele Olayinka, better known as Iya Gbonkan, has pleaded with well-meaning Nigerians to buy her a car.
The 64-year-old Nollywood actress lamented that she doesn’t own a car despite having spent more than a decade in the Nigerian film industry in a video that is currently making the rounds on the internet.
She mentioned that despite her age and experience, she still relies on walking and public transport to get from one place to another.
Iya Gbonkan has urged Nigerians, especially her fans, to honor her with a car while she is alive, rather than waiting to celebrate her or make grand gestures for her 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.
