An Act Of Kindness By Femi Otedola
Last week, devastating news spread that Nollywood veteran actor, Victor Olaotan, was in need of financial assistance for a medical condition. The actor was involved in a ghastly motor accident back in 2016 which left his legs in a condition warranting amputation.

Several years ago, I met this “young man” and we hit it off, we had a lot in common, including same interest in music and from time to time he would give me playlists of his “LATEST COLLECTIONS”. Then, during the shoot of The 3 Wise Men, we developed a stronger bond. Anyone who knows Victor will attest to the fact that he is the life of the party and he always brought it on and off set so imagine my shock when I got a call from Opa Williams informing me of the tragic accident and seeing him in this state has been horrific. It has been a hard road to travel especially for his wife and family. This is long over due but I am happy that a lot more people now have him in their prayers and I believe God that this will end in praise and Victor will be able to say thank you himself to everybody that has contributed or contributing to ensure his speedy recovery. For those of you who are more modern and understand the Go Fund Me app, the link is https://www.gofundme.com/uncle-victor-olaotandm But if you’re old school like me then please send your token to his wife’s account JULIA OLAOTAN 0001101396 STANBIC IBTC She has been an incredible woman for our friend and brother. #VictorOlaotan #GodCan #GodWill #TheEndIsPraise

So, a few days ago, I reached out to @femiotedola asking for help for my friend and brother Victor and just this morning, Femi calls to tell me that he would take care of ALL of Victor’s bills. He told me that he is already on it and that his people are already talking with Victor’s wife. Is God not awesome????? I can’t even contain my joy and gratitude. Thank you Femi @femiotedola you are a man and a half and thank you to my young friend @gbenroajibade for championing this cause, they really don’t make them like you anymore, you are such an amazing “child” and I am proud to know you. Thank you to everyone who has supported in one way or the other. It’s been a long time coming
