The Yoruba sector of Nollywood has once again demonstrated its deep love and appreciation for veteran actress Dupe Jayesimi by organizing a surprise celebration in her honor.
Famousja reported earlier in the week that the respected actress marked a new age, and to commemorate the occasion, the movie industry came together to throw her a surprise birthday party on Saturday.
The event was spearheaded by her goddaughter, Biola Bayo, and saw the attendance of several notable stars, including Toyin Tomato, Akin Boss, Iyabadan Sneh, Toyosi Adesanya, Toyin Adegbola, Funmilayo Adelusi, and many others.
Videos making the rounds online captured the emotional moment Dupe Jayesimi walked into the birthday venue, clearly surprised and overwhelmed by the grand gesture. Another heartwarming clip showed the veteran actress receiving a money bouquet as she warmly embraced each of the celebrity guests present at the celebration.
On Mother’s Day, Biola Bayo and other compassionate Nigerians moved veteran actress Dupe Jayesimi to tears with a heartfelt surprise. The emotional moment came when Dupe was gifted a brand-new car, a gesture that left her overwhelmed with gratitude. She tearfully thanked Nigerians for their immense love and unwavering support.
This touching act came just months after Dupe opened up in a deeply emotional interview with Biola Bayo in March, where she spoke about her struggles with childlessness and a failed marriage. She shared how she endured multiple miscarriages, suffered mistreatment at the hands of her husband, and despite raising many other people’s children, had none of her own to celebrate her 60th birthday with.
In response to her painful story, Biola offered her full support, assuring Dupe that she wasn’t alone and that her days of sorrow were behind her. The Yoruba actress declared that God had remembered Dupe and that better days were ahead.
In a separate post, Biola gushed over their close bond. Sharing a video of Dupe visiting her store, she expressed how blessed she feels to have such a remarkable woman in her life and thanked her for the visit, describing her as truly beautiful inside and out.
