She said, “I am here to beg my fans at home and abroad to help me. I don’t need a car because I will not be able to maintain it. I don’t need a house because God has given me a small house where I am living. What I need is money that I can use to buy different types of foodstuff that I can sell in my shop. Once I have a functioning shop, if I am not in any movie location, I will be in my shop selling. Please, help me with the food that I will be eating till the end of my life.”
She also revealed that casts are not being paid well, saying the highest professional fees she received is N300, 000.
