In the wake of recent criticism against Nollywood actress Funke Akindele for not supporting her late colleague, Adejumoke Aderounmu, during her battle with cancer, Bimbo Akisanya has stepped forward to defend her senior colleague.

Bimbo shared a personal account of Funke’s generosity and kindness towards another cancer patient, Folake Oshadare, a make-up artist in the movie industry.

According to Bimbo, Funke has been consistently helping Folake with her cancer treatment by covering the costs of her medication every month.

This act of kindness, Bimbo said, moved her to tears when she learned about it.

She emphasized that while no one is perfect, Funke’s actions demonstrate her angelic nature in helping those in need.

Funke Akindele had previously expressed her grief over the loss of her colleague, Adejumoke Aderounmu, and shared her own struggles, including dealing with the loss of her mother.

In an Instagram live session, she also expressed displeasure over a demeaning comment made by a netizen on her page following Jumoke’s death.

This incident has sparked conversations about the support system within the Nollywood industry and the expectations placed on celebrities to help their colleagues in times of need.

It also highlights the importance of empathy and understanding when it comes to dealing with personal struggles and loss.

As the community mourns the loss of Adejumoke Aderounmu, Bimbo Akisanya’s account serves as a reminder that everyone, including celebrities, has their own challenges to deal with, and it is important to acknowledge the good deeds they do while recognizing that they are not perfect.
