Yomi Fabiyi, a well-known figure in the Nigerian film industry (Nollywood), recently expressed his deep gratitude towards the generous donors who contributed to providing financial assistance to Alapinni, a highly respected Yoruba actor.
According to a report by Kemi Filani a few days ago, Alapinni openly shared his financial struggles, which prompted his fans and well-wishers to come together and raise over 3 million naira to support him. With this collective effort, they were able to purchase a new car for him.
In response to this heartwarming news, Yomi Fabiyi shed light on the dedication displayed by veteran actors who often make sacrifices to pursue their passion, despite not having the means to own personal vehicles. He emphasized that many of these individuals use their modest earnings from acting to support their children and others they take care of, leading to financial difficulties.
Yomi Fabiyi’s note of appreciation serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by veteran actors in Nollywood and the importance of supporting them in their times of need. He expressed his overwhelming joy and gratitude to God and the generous donors, assuring them that their kindness will be rewarded and their children will benefit from this act of humanity and pure religion.
Yomi Fabiyi specifically thanked Ayoola (@kamo_state), recognizing their remarkable efforts, and extended his appreciation to Mr. Lekan Enuope in the US and all other donors. He firmly believes that this charitable act will bring blessings to each and every one of them.
He also acknowledged the unfortunate reality that these legendary actors and talented individuals are often the first to arrive at locations despite not owning a car. They have used their meager incomes to raise their children and provide for others they support.
Yomi Fabiyi pointed out the contrast between those who have the means but choose not to give and those who, despite lacking resources, are eager to contribute. He emphasized that charity is a significant aspect of humanity and a voluntary decision to provide help, assistance, a voice, or a helping hand to those in genuine need. He regarded charity as a fundamental aspect of human existence.
Overall, Yomi Fabiyi’s words express immense gratitude and highlight the importance of supporting veteran actors in Nollywood who face financial challenges.
