In the emotional clip, Cynthia revealed her challenges:
“Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Cynthia. I have cancer, 2023. And I did my surgery. I took chemo. But later, it came back again and I've been in and out of the hospital. The recent checking news, the doctor said that it has reached my bone. And the treatment now is higher. I spend 600 and something a month now. And it's not an easy thing.”

“Please, I need to live. I need to survive. I'm asking Nigerians to please help me. Anyone that can help, please, I need help. Your one Naira, your two Naira can add up to something reasonable for me to take the proper treatment for this cancer. I'm begging you, please help me.”

“She made this video today, please find it in your heart to offer her help. Nothing is too small 🙏. She is an upcoming Nollywood actress 😭💔. Nkachukwu Anijekwu. Her condition is very critical now.”
