Concern has grown within the Nollywood industry following reports that veteran actress Ajara is currently battling serious health challenges, with colleagues calling for urgent assistance as her condition reportedly worsens.
Several actors and filmmakers have taken to social media to raise awareness about Ajara’s health situation, sharing videos and posts in which they appeal to Nigerians, fans, and well-wishers for financial and medical support. According to those close to the actress, she has been ill for some time, but recent developments suggest her condition has deteriorated.
Ajara is a respected figure in the Yoruba-language film industry and is known for her long-standing contributions to Nollywood. However, like many veteran actors, she is reportedly facing difficulties in covering the cost of her medical treatment.
In one widely circulated video, Kemity described Ajara’s condition as critical and urged the public to offer immediate assistance. Other industry actors and filmmakers like Wumi Toriola, Adeniyi Johnson, Dayo Amusa, Bakare Zainab have shared appeals and updates online, emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need for timely intervention.
The development has once again drawn attention to ongoing concerns about the welfare of Nollywood veterans, including the lack of structured healthcare and support systems within the industry.
Following the appeals, members of the public have begun sharing donation details and reposting messages across social media platforms in an effort to mobilize support for the actress.
As efforts continue, colleagues and fans remain hopeful that the intervention will enable Ajara to access the medical care she urgently requires.
