Speaking about the financial burden of her treatment, Ronke said the cost of purchasing medication each month was overwhelming.
“Thank God He is God, and thank you MC Oluomo and my colleagues who kept me alive today. Do you know what it means for someone to buy medicines worth N800,000 every month?
She also recounted the unexpected support she received from fellow actress Sotayo, despite their long-standing disagreement.
According to Ronke, she and Sotayo had not spoken for about five or six years after a disagreement, but Sotayo sent her N150,000 after finding out that she was ill.
“Let’s take Sotayo, I don’t mention names lightly but I will mention hers. Sotayo and I had not spoken in a long time, not that we were at war, but we had a little disagreement. The last time Sotayo and I spoke was five or six years ago. But when he found out that I fell ill, he sent me 150,000 naira,” he said.
When asked if Sotayo had called her since then, Ronke said they still don’t talk when they meet at social gatherings.
“If we meet at a party, we avoid each other without greeting each other,” he said.
Ronke also revealed that she joined the Celestial Church of Christ (CCC) during the period she was seriously ill, stressing that her decision was personal and that she does not condemn other religions.
“It was when I was terribly ill that I joined Cele. As for me, I don’t condemn other religions,” she said.
