Speak out on personal struggles, Nollywood actress Daramola urges colleagues

Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya claims that some colleagues refused to assist in the burial of late actress Temitope Osoba due to her alleged lack of membership in the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN). Adesanya, the National Director of Social and Welfare of TAMPAN, made the allegation during a candlelight procession and artistes' night held in honor of Osoba in Ikeja, Lagos State.

Osoba, a breast cancer survivor, had returned to acting following treatment and was declared cancer-free in August 2025. Her death sparked controversy and criticism over the level of support she received from her colleagues. Adesanya, representing TAMPAN's President Bolaji Amusan, urged industry practitioners to support one another, condemning what she described as deception and "eye service" among colleagues.

She criticized those who questioned Osoba's TAMPAN membership and the lack of contributions to her burial funds.
