The candle night session and 8th-day Fidau held in honour of popular Yoruba actress, Aisha Abimbola, has birthed a foundation that will cater for women living with the deadly disease. It will be recalled that Ambibola, otherwise known as Omoge Campus, reportedly died of breast cancer in Canada and had been buried by the Canadian government. The cancer foundation was the initiative of the Golden Movie Ambassador of Nigeria (TGMAN), headed by its President, Ambassador Saidi Balogun, who said the dream of Aisha was to have a cancer foundation that would cater for women both young and old battling with the problem. The candle night, which held at the Blue Roof of the LTV 8 at Agidingbi, Ikeja Lagos State, witnessed a large turnout of actors and actresses who came to pay their last respect to one of their own. Shortly after her death was announced, we decided as an association, to organise a candle night and Fidau in her honour because that is the best we could do for her.
