Olumide Bakare ‘seriously needs’ money and prayers
Popular Yoruba movie actor, Olumide Bakare, has launched a desperate plea for “money and prayers”, as he continues his battle with cancer of the lungs, for which he is on admission at the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan.
Bakare’s plea was announced on Facebook by broadcast journalist, Babajide Moronfolu.

“In his words to me: Jide Omo Moronfolu, agbara mi o ka mo o, ba mi be a won Omo Nigeria mi won ran mi lowo pelu owo ati adura.”
Translated to English, those words read: “Jide the son of Moronfolu, I can no longer bear this alone. Please help be beg Nigerians to assist me with money and prayers.”
The health of the Ibadan-based actor and former staff of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has been deteriorating since 2013, and he once sought medical assistance from his US-based younger brother, who is a medical doctor.
He was rushed to the intensive care unit of UCH in the third week of December, after he suffered cardiac arrest.
According to Moronfolu, donations can be sent to the actor via: Olumide Bakare, Ecobank, 3872003592.
