Nollywood actress Ronke Oshodi Oke has revealed that she faced a serious health challenge that required spending up to N800,000 monthly on medication, and she credited MC Oluomo and her colleagues for helping her survive the ordeal.
During an interview on African A List, the veteran actress opened up about the difficult period, describing the overwhelming financial burden of her treatment and the crucial support she received from those around her.
MC Oluomo and Colleagues Kept Me Alive
Reflecting on the crisis, Ronke expressed gratitude to God and to the people who did not abandon her when she needed help the most. She specifically mentioned MC Oluomo and her colleagues, saying their support was instrumental in her recovery.
“Thank God that He is God, and thanks to MC Oluomo and my colleagues who kept me alive today,” she said.
She also gave insight into the cost of her treatment, asking: “Do you know what it means for someone to buy drugs worth 800,000 naira every month?”
Unexpected Support from Sotayo
Ronke also revealed that she received financial support from actress Sotayo during the difficult period, despite their strained relationship. She said they had not spoken for about five or six years following a disagreement.
However, after Sotayo learned about her illness, she sent Ronke N150,000. Interestingly, Ronke admitted that the gesture did not immediately end their awkward relationship, and they still bypassed each other without exchanging greetings whenever they met at parties.
