Margaret Olayinka, the ace Nigerian actress better known as Iya Gbonkan, has pleaded with her fans for a car gift.

In a now-viral video, the 64-year-old actress said despite acting for decades, she does not own a car.

Iya Gbonkan, who is popular for her remarkable performances in the Yoruba film industry, said she usually relies on buses to move around.

The film star also called on fans to “celebrate me now that I am alive”.

“I have been acting for decades yet I don’t have a car,” she said in the video.

“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.”

Olayinka undertook her first performing arts training under the mentorship of Duro Ladipo, the late movie producer.

Her distinctive physical appearance, characterised by her large, bulging eyes, earned her the nickname ‘Iya Gbonkan’.

She hit the spotlight in the early 1970s when she featured on ‘Pa Yemi Elebu’bon’, a television series by Ifa Olokun.

She has since been featured in several other Nollywood movies including ‘Aje Meta’, ‘Jenifa’, and ‘Ese Oro’, among others.

She has also received several recognitions for her craft.

Popular singer cum socialite Temmie Ovwasa recently expressed her preference for going to hell rather than being associated with Christians in heaven.

While speaking in a podcast show called ‘Doyin’s Corner,’ she candidly explained her strained relationship with Christians, citing their perceived unkindness.

The singer revealed that she frequently faces attacks due to her sexuality as a lesbian.

She claimed that Christians relentlessly troll her, accusing her lifestyle of contradicting Jesus’ teachings.

While she often jokes about going to hell to provoke a reaction, she clarified that she doesn’t genuinely believe in the existence of eternal damnation.

Music mogul Don Jazzy has stated that it will be difficult for him to remain faithful to a single woman.

The music executive made the statement while in a relationship discussion with Nedu Wazobia and others. He acknowledged that he isn’t the kind of guy to stick to one woman.

Don Jazzy claimed that although things might change once he locates his lost rib, for the time being; he can’t stay committed to just one woman.

Don Jazzy said,

“I wouldn’t be able to process the fact that if I like this person every other person should go to hell.

“As at now, in my life, when that butterfly hits me like it hits you people when you fall in love, maybe I will then say every other person is f*cked and this is who I like”.

Reacting, Daddy Freeze, via Tunde Ednut’s comment section, reiteirated that he can’t cheat on his wife but understands Don Jazzy’s stance.
