Nollywood actress Ramota Adeotu, widely known as Aunty Ramota, has made a heartfelt plea to Nigerians for assistance after finding herself in a dire situation.
In a video shared by philanthropist Agiye Amira, also known as Isaamira Food Bank, the actress revealed that she is currently homeless after the woman she was living with got married and asked her to leave due to her husband’s discomfort with her presence.
Aunty Ramota further disclosed that the man who had been helping her build her house has halted construction due to personal issues. To make matters worse, she claims that her management team stole all her money and deleted her TikTok and other social media accounts.
In her emotional appeal, she expressed frustration over her hard work being undermined, saying,
I’m currently stranded without accommodation. The lady I was staying with got married last month, and she asked me to leave because her husband wasn’t comfortable with me staying there. The man who was helping me build my house stopped because of personal issues. To make things worse, my management stole all the money I had. They even deleted my TikTok and every other social media account.”
Ramota went on to lament her situation, noting, “I worked so hard, but they kept cheating me because they thought I wouldn’t know how much we were really making. Now, I don’t even have enough to rent a place. Someone kindly offered to rent a space for me, but I told them I want to finish building my house, even if it’s just one room, so I can finally have a place to call my own.”
Reactions from netizens highlighted a mix of empathy and skepticism towards her plight. Comments included:
- Ose Dumebi: “But it was obvious they were cheating her.”
- Billa Cross: “This woman has been exploited sha.”
- Mandy Chuks: “I knew they were using Ramota to enrich themselves and giving her peanuts. Shebi na she claimed now like ice water.”
- OG Zillions042: “You never blow, you don get manager. Nawa o.”
Earlier this year, Aunty Ramota shared a different side of her journey in an interview, recounting her encounter with Jesus Christ while on her sick bed. She reflected on how others believed she was near death due to her typhoid illness but revealed that a dream of Jesus awakened her hope.
