Wednesday, July 15, 2026 - Veteran Nollywood actress, Omotunde Ogundimu, has cried out
over her battle with cervical cancer.
The actress made the revelation on Tuesday during an interview with her colleague, Biola Adebayo, on the Talk to B podcast.
Speaking about her secret battle with cancer since 2025, the actress, who revealed she is a single mother of three, also said she lost her husband in 2012.
While alleging that she had been sidelined in Nollywood, she
solicited financial help from the public and sought forgiveness from anyone she
may have offended in the industry.
“I’m going through severe pain. I was diagnosed with
cervical cancer. I don’t know where I got it from. I don’t look for people’s
trouble; I’m an easy-going person.
“I have reached out to some people who have been of help. My
children have also spent all they have. My children are now exhausting their
income on me. They can no longer care for themselves, but I thank God for
blessing me with my children. I had refused to seek help from the public, but
as it is now, I don’t have any option other than to do it.
“I know people will bully me and some will help me. I just
have to cry out for help so that I can survive this deadly disease because I
don’t have anything left. Nigerians, please have mercy on me. I just want to be
healed. The pain is severe. I’m a single mother of three. I’m a widow. I lost
my husband in 2012.
“I don’t usually get jobs. I have called my colleagues in
the industry to beg them for movie roles, but none of them did. Please, if I
offended anyone in the industry, please forgive me. I use God to beg you. I beg
you in the name of this profession to please forgive me if there’s anyone that
I offended because it wasn’t like this before. I have been doing this job for
35 years,” she said.
