Ify Onwuemene

By Jennifer Okundia

Nigerian actress Ify Onwuemene is currently battling for life as she’s suffering from endometrial cancer and needs support for chemotherapy.

In a video shared by fellow actress Gloria Young, Ify stated that she started treating the ailment since February 2019 and over N6m has been spent already but the sickness resurfaced this 2020 and she’s back to soliciting help.

Nigerian super star singer Davido was one of the well meaning Nigerian who contributed to her hospital bills when she cried out last year.

Folks please we need help for our sister @ifyonwuemene an actress from the days of Sam loco and Enebeli Elebuwa. I worked with her last on the set of Tajudeen Adepetu’s “Everyday People” in the late 90’s. She is down with endometrial cancer. She has tried sourcing for funds on her own, but nothing is too small. Please send whatever you can to Ifey Onwuemene, Fidelity Bank 6010999993.
Thank you
