Tajudeen Oyewole, popular Nigerian actor better known as Abija has taken to social media to solicit financial assistance.
The 66-year-old actor, famous for playing the role of a traditionalist in Yoruba movies, recently hosted a TikTok live session wherein he engaged with his fans.
In a now-trending video, Abija sought financial assistance from his followers while praying for them. He also appreciated those who donated money to his bank account.
“We will send it now Larry Larry. We will send it to the comment section. You will not be trapped by the evil people of this world. You will not live alone,” he said in the video.
“You will grow old. Larry you will grow in sound health. I have sent the account details to the comment section of Baba Legba. I appreciate you.
“You will also not beg to survive. The real Igbalaye, thank you. You will not suffer in life. The account is in the comment section posted by Baba Legba. Thank you, everyone.”
However, the actor did not reveal why he was begging for money.
Recall that in the past years, several actors have sought financial assistance online, specifically for health reasons.
In mid-2020, the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) signed an MoU with Medicard Health Management, a health services provider, to end the practice of soliciting funds for medical emergencies among its members and independent Nollywood actors.
Born on October 26, 1957, Abija gained prominence for his role in ‘Koto Aye’, the popular Yoruba film by the late Yekini Ajileye.
Last year, the actor also pleaded with his fans to buy him a car.
