Yoruba Nollywood actress Biola Fowosere, popularly known as Abebi Ibadan, recently shared a surprising experience from her trip abroad.
In an interview with Ojopagogo TV, the actress recounted how a married man, recognizing her fame, went out of his way to ensure she was comfortable during her stay overseas.
Fowosere, who had traveled abroad with limited resources, faced a tough situation when her packed Nigerian foodstuffs — including Egusi, dried fish, and garri — were confiscated at the airport.
Struggling with both the absence of familiar foods and a tight budget, she worried about how she would manage to find Nigerian dishes without exhausting the little money she had brought with her.
While abroad, Fowosere encountered a man who recognized her from her Nollywood films. Although married, he took it upon himself to ensure she had access to Nigerian food, sparing her the worry of how to find familiar meals. Despite having a wife back home, he regularly provided her with various Nigerian dishes, helping her stay connected to her roots and maintain a sense of comfort.
His unexpected generosity relieved Fowosere from the burden of spending her limited funds on food, easing what could have been a major challenge during her stay overseas.
She said: “I wanted to travel abroad. During preparation, I packed different types of Nigerian foodstuffs in my luggage, such as Egusi, Dried Fish, and Garri. However, when we arrived at the airport, all the foodstuffs I packed were removed from my luggage. When I got to the country, I started wondering how I was going to get Nigerian food without spending all the money I had with me. Then, I met a married man who recognized my face from my movies. He was happy to see me and told me not to worry about getting Nigerian dishes. Despite the fact that this man was married and had a wife at home, he welcomed me. Throughout my stay abroad, this married man fed me different types of Nigerian dishes, and I didn’t spend any of the money I took along.”
