SO SAD AS AISHAT ABIMBOLA AKA OMOGE CAMPUS IS SET FOR BURIAL TODAY!







The news of her sudden demise on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 from complications from Breast Cancer sent shock waves to her industry-Nollywood, the Yoruba sector where she was an active practitioner.

 She was majorly famous for an old production OMOGE CAMPUS, that was in fact her 1st movie, which blew her into prominence and from where she got her famous nickname-OMOGE campus which stucked to her ever since, for her fantastic portrayal of a hot in demand campus damsel.

The mother of 2, a very good friend of the late Moji Olaiya, who incidentally passed on only about a year ago also in the same Canada, was at the hospital in Canada, getting treated for Breast Cancer related issues. But alas even with all the fantastic treatment she was getting and all the attention she also got from the best medical hands available, she still gave up the ghost at the Scarborough General Hospital, Ontario, Canada.

Aishat Abimbola, who is a beautiful, divorced mother of 2, died at the young age of 46. She was in Canada with her 2 kids, when the sad occurrence happened and she would be buried today. She is from Epe in Lagos and would he sorely missed by her fans and friends. She had lost her mom in the 90s, followed by her dad in the 2000s, she had married and had separated amicably from her husband then years back and had poured her energy thereafter into acting. After the lost of her good friend Moji a year ago, she had sacrificed a lot to make sure that her friend's kids were well taken care of, only for her to have passed on shockingly and untimely too!

May the untimely, dearly departed soul of AISHAT ABIMBOLA find rest.

YETUNDE BABAEKO HOLDS FIRST OF ITS KIND BREAST CANCER AWARENESS PHOTO EXHIBITION IN LAGOS

YETUNDE AYENI-BABAEKO

Leading photographer, Yetunde Babaeko holds a first of its kind breast cancer awareness photo exhibition geared to inspire the Nigerian public to join in the fight against cancer.


The photo exhibition titled "Battle Scar" will hold on the 8th of March at the Goethe Institute, Onikan by 2pm.
  

This exhibition will showcase photos taken by a group of independent professional female photographers led by popular photographer and owner of Camara-Studios, Yetunde Babaeko and driven by a collective passionate vision "to make a lasting impact through the lens of the camera".



“Breast cancer patients need to know that this does not limit ambition. Knowing this inspires the zeal to impact the lives of females to reach out and accomplish their dreams regardless of the health issues they have. Also being ‘breast aware' plays a major role in early detection so I was especially pleased to be a part of this initiative which will make ladies more aware and become proactive with breast examination and talking to their doctors." says Yetunde Babaeko.



“I am not going to run 5km or climb Kilimanjaro, but I need to do something. For me, choosing to take photos for the cancer support groups, albeit it is very short-lived is a personal challenge. It is so important to raise awareness of breast cancer and the work of our national charities who help women and their families deal with the physical and emotional scars that this disease creates.” notes one of the photographers.



This maiden edition will feature real life photos of breast cancer patients, survivors, their families and the strategies they employ in coping with breast cancer.

ADIEU LINDA GODWIN RIP! THANKS CHIMA ANYASO FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT

LATE LINDA GODWIN & CHIMA ANYASO

We lost a very dear friend and a gallant fighter a couple of days ago, for some of you our readers, you might have read or heard about her, we even asked for support to help her fight the battle sometime ago on this platform. 

Linda Godwin 24, daughter, wife, mother of a son passed on after her painful fight with cancer. When we went to check her sometime ago at Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-araba we came face to face with what it was like to give a good fight to stay alive and from the little we saw she did try her possible best. The young lady apparently sometime long ago detected some lumps in her breast and went to have it checked only for those that did the check to tell her it was none malignant, so she shouldn't worry. Thinking all was well and not having another opinion a proper one at that, is why she's now dead. 

By the time she found out it wasn't benign as she was made to believe, but truly malignant the battle was already half way lost. Not having the kind of supports and correct information needed and even funds, she first went to the wrong place for treatment. She had sort traditional help which didn't help ,in the course of looking for treatment the right breast got terribly bad that it fell off on its own. Her right arm and the left breast had also become affected. The right arm became swollen and she was in constant, most often unbearable pain. 

On hearing of her plight we did our possible best to get help and funds together to see, whether by a miracle something could be done. In our call out for help, only a few people responded and just a few people made promises, but only one person redeemed the promise he made and that person is none other than young philanthropist and humanitarian par excellence Chima Anyaso. Not only did he respond, he even followed us to LUTH to see Linda. Not just this he followed us also to a ward at LUTH where he paid for the treatments of all those in the ward, patients, nurses those taking care of the indisposed ones couldn't believe this. They thought they were dreaming of this intervention from a total stranger, that this couldn't have been real. We are talking about some patients needing to pay hundreds of thousands for treatments. 

Till Linda passed on some days ago, Chima remained a shoulder to rely on. It was with pain in all our hearts, but in total submission to God that we have accepted that Linda has gone to rest. To say the truth, her pain could only be imagined. 

We pray that God would finally grant her that rest that she so earnestly wanted. We can remember her lamenting when we saw her that ''abeg this pain is too much make person even die'' that CRY brought tears into our eyes, we felt her pain. 

Please please and please everyone, Cancer is for real oooooo, IT'S NOT A JOKE OOO. For the women check yourself before you wreck yourself and for the men too, Prostate cancer is for real too. 

According to what one of the Professors at LUTH told us when we visited, an early detection can go a very long way in saving what could become a bad situation. So ladies check your breast for anything usual and get proper diagnosis.

Adieu Linda!!! Sorry Godwin for the loss of your wife.  Thanks so much Chima for answering us when we called on you.

LINDA GODWIN NEEDS YOUR HELP!!!! & URGENTLY SO TOO MAESTROMEDIA PLEA FOR HELP!!!!

LINDA GODWIN- SEE HOW THE THING HAS AFFECTED HER HANDS

The lady whose picture you see above is Linda and she needs your help. The beautiful young lady of just 24 years old, from Imo State is a BREAST cancer patient that is suffering excruciating pain as we speak. 

Her case was detected last year (2012). She had detected a lump and had gone for a scan only to have been told it was a cyst that was none malignant and she was given drugs to deal with the situation. Instead of the situation to be remedied, it only got terribly worse and from her own explanations to us, the breast got worse to the extent it had got rotten and  at a point fell off. 

After her initial treatment at Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) which didn't help matters, she had resorted to 'Native treatment' thinking that could arrest the rot or better still the situation. All to no avail. Her right breast is gone now and the left is in need of urgent treatment.

Now she's back to LUTH for treatment and is presently undergoing chemotherapy. Funds is very limited and they have tried as much as possible already. The sad thing is that, the other breast (left one) is also already feeling the pinch, like she said when we spoke with her, they have already found lymph nodes on her other armpit. So our plea is for HELP!

Linda needs your urgent help, you can be the hands of God to help save her or at least prolong her existence. A stitch in time they say saves nine. Please! Please!! Please!!! Your help is much needed.  

For now we hear she needs about 2 Million plus. Her contact details are as follows- Phone nos- 08171334776. Contact address is 11, Odofin Street, off Idowu Street, Olodi Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria.
