Veteran Yoruba actor, Fatai Adekunle Adatayo better known as Lalude is in a joyous mood.
In a recent video making the rounds, the well known thespian was seen expressing unspeakable joy as he received keys to a brand new Toyota Camry.
Lalude’s gift, it was gathered came from his numerous fans who said they felt it was high time the actor who has been in the business for over 30 years got a vehicle.
The journey to getting the gift started with a single fan- Kamo State, who had earlier in the year made a passionate plea for fans of the actor to donate to the cause. While Kamo State, who is also an online comedian donated N10million, an anonymous donor sent in N3million, just as other fans dropped their widows might.
Today, the actor who is mostly cast as either a witchdoctor or a herbalist is a proud owner of his own vehicle.
Obviously, he was full of emotions as he gave thanks to those who found him worthy to be handed such gifted.
Kamo State posted the following on his Instagram page:
