Agbala Gabriel, a well-known prophet based in Ibadan, has successfully facilitated a donation exceeding five million naira to support three popular Nollywood actresses: Iya Gbonkan, Mama Abeni Agbon, and Mama Tamotiye.
During a live programme on his Facebook page on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, the esteemed man of God revealed the total amount of donations. Prophet Gabriel disclosed that a sum of 4.1 million naira had been contributed towards the construction of Iya Gbonkan’s house, and an additional N500,000 was designated for her car.
Furthermore, he announced that N500,000 had been donated for Mama Abeni Agbon, and an equal amount for Mama Tamotiye.
Referring to Iya Gbonkan’s unfinished building in Oshogbo, the pastor wrote, “Work has already begun.”
Agbala Gabriel, a prominent pastor in Ibadan, is dedicated to assisting the underprivileged, particularly the elderly. Through his foundation, he has successfully supported thousands of elderly individuals, particularly widows.
The pastor’s attention was drawn to a viral video featuring Nollywood actress Margaret Bandele Olayinka, known as Iya Gbonkan, where she appealed for assistance from her fans.
In the video, the 64-year-old actress expressed her financial struggles and inability to afford a car despite her decades-long acting career. She tearfully shared how she relied on buses to travel to her destinations.
Iya Gbonkan pleaded with her fans to celebrate her while she was still alive and not wait until she passed away to show their support.
She lamented, “I have been acting for decades yet I don’t have a car. I jump on buses every day. If I die now, you will kill a cow. Celebrate me now that I am alive. I need a car from my fans.”
Upon seeing this video, Prophet Gabriel arranged a meeting with the actress. Moved by the veteran actress’s distressing circumstances, he reached out to his fans worldwide, appealing for assistance.
As of Wednesday, June 7, 2023, Agbala Gabriel revealed that a total of N4.1 million had been donated to support Iya Gbonkan.
Another Nollywood actress who received support is Toyin Oladiran, popularly known as Abeni Agbon.
Abeni Agbon is highly regarded for her talent in portraying witch or villainous characters in Yoruba movies.
Prophet Gabriel also announced a donation of N500,000 for her.
Additionally, Iya Ibeji Omoarayele, also known as Adenike Adegboye, has been selected to receive a donation.
Adenike Adegboye, a veteran actress born in Osun State, has appeared in numerous classic movies such as “Ẹ̀kọ ìbílẹ̀,” “Ìyá Àgan,” “Omo Araye Le,” and “Ọya Gbàjarè.”
Unfortunately, the esteemed actress is battling a serious illness. After Iya Ibeji appealed for help from compassionate Nigerians, Prophet Gabriel facilitated the construction of a new building for her. Additionally, a sum of N500,000 has been raised for her through the ongoing donations organized by Agbala Gabriel Global.
