Ajara is in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not content. We need financial support from the public and serious prayers. It\u2019s not that Ajara has not been working, but she has been using most of her earnings to care for her mother, who is suffering from a stroke. The funniest part is that she\u2019s pregnant. I\u2019m also surprised to now hear that she\u2019s also battling a liver-related illness,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrities who also solicited help for her include actress Kemity, actor Jamiu Azeez, actress Bimpe Oyebade, and singer Lanre Alewilese, among others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Cape verde<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Cape verde.
