Following the release of a video of Margaret Olayinka in her recently finished home, the seasoned Nigerian film actress, better known by her stage name Iya Gbonkan, has once more made news.
Recall Iya Gbonkan had pleaded with Nigerians for a car, and pastor Gabriel Agbala had begun a crowdfunding campaign in response.
Iya Gbonkan received a car from a fan after collecting about N5 million from well-meaning Nigerians, and the money she had on hand was used to finish her unfinished building project.
In a recent update, the actress who sat next to the aforementioned pastor in the now-completed structure was unable to contain her happiness.
The Yoruba actress stated to the preacher that she was no longer hungry since her joy had satisfied her.
Iya Gbonkan added that she never thought she could live in a house as good as the one she got. In her words:
“I haven’t been hungry all day because my joy knows no bounds. I never thought I could live in a good house.”
In the video, the pastor gave an account of how the money was spent and claimed that about N4.3 million was invested to complete the house.
He added that the house has upgraded from having just a well to having a borehole and running water from all its taps. Pastor Gabriel said a brand new generator was also bought.
Although the whole house wasn’t captured, the part that was obvious in the video showed it had been painted and looked grand.
