Nollywood actress Temitope Osoba has opened up about a deeply personal chapter in her life — one marked by illness, heartbreak, and resilience. In a recent interview, she revealed that she was diagnosed with cancer and told by doctors that the medications required could prevent her from conceiving for the next five years.
At 38, the news hit hard. Temitope described the moment as devastating, especially knowing she might have to wait until her 40s to pursue motherhood. But instead of surrendering to fear, she leaned into her faith. She began praying and fasting, determined to fight both spiritually and medically.
Her efforts paid off. A CT scan confirmed the cancer hadn’t spread, and she underwent a second surgery to remove the remaining tumour. The experience, she said, was a turning point — one that reminded her of her strength and purpose.
Temitope’s journey hasn’t been limited to health challenges. In a previous interview, she spoke about surviving sexual assault at the hands of a relative, an experience that left her battling depression and struggling to stay afloat in the film industry.
But support came from fellow actors. Biola Bayo publicly rallied behind her, calling on producers and directors to send her scripts and help her rebuild her career. Foluke Daramola also stepped in, revealing that Temitope had undergone breast surgery and thanking the public for their support.
In December, Temitope received a surprise birthday gift — a car from an anonymous donor. The moment, captured on video, showed her breaking down in tears as she thanked Foluke for standing by her.
Now back on her feet, Temitope is ready to reclaim her place in Nollywood. Her story is one of survival, faith, and the power of community — a reminder that even in the darkest seasons, light can return.
