Ailing Yoruba actress and filmmaker Kemi Afolabi has laid bare the truths about her relationships with female colleagues in the Nollywood industry.
In a recent candid conversation with fellow actor Kunle Afod on his talk show, Kemi Afolabi opened up about the evolution of her friendships with female colleagues in Nollywood, especially since her health battle with lupus began a few years ago.
Afod, not one to shy away from the tough questions, pressed Afolabi to discuss how her health condition had reshaped her life and her bonds with fellow actresses.
Reflecting on her journey, Afolabi didn’t sugarcoat the truth, said some friendships that once seemed unbreakable had fractured as her illness progressed.
She acknowledged that Sikiratu Sindodo, a colleague she once considered a close friend, was no longer a constant presence in her life, but are still on speaking terms.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Afod pushed further, questioning whether Afolabi had ever shared close ties with some of Nollywood’s movie stars, including Iyabo Ojo, Laide Bakare, and Omoborty. With an unwavering voice, Afolabi quickly firmly stated that she was never friends with them.
Amidst the stories of distancing and the harsh truth about lost ties, Kemi Afolabi’s face softened when she turned her attention to one actress who had defied expectations and remained a steadfast ally—Mercy Aigbe.
Speaking with deep emotion, she didn’t hold back in praising Aigbe, recounting how their relationship had not only survived her illness but had grown stronger.
