Nollywood actress Bolaji Ogunmola has expressed heartfelt gratitude to Nigerians who supported her following her recent ordeal with United Nigeria Airlines.
In a video shared on her Instagram page on Friday, January 9, Ogunmola thanked those who reached out via calls, messages, and other forms of assistance after she raised concerns about the incident. “Thank you so much to everyone who literally reached out, who sent a message, who called, who sent help. God bless you guys. I’m deeply, deeply thankful,” she said.
The actress also acknowledged the assistance of a man she identified as Mr Wale, as well as officials of the Ekiti State Government, adding, “Thank you so much, Ekiti State Government, the ADC, the driver and the security. I am so deeply grateful.” Ogunmola further appreciated bloggers and media platforms that amplified her complaints, noting that their coverage helped draw attention to the issue.
Reacting to the airline’s apology, Ogunmola criticised what she described as poor communication, questioning how passengers could be issued tickets and boarding passes only for flights to be cancelled without adequate notice. She alleged that airline officials failed to inform her of the flight cancellation even while taking photographs with her at the airport the following day.
Addressing critics who described her as a “big baby,” the actress explained that she does not enjoy unnecessary stress and admitted that the attention generated by the incident was overwhelming.
Ogunmola concluded by thanking Nigerians once again, wishing them a happy new year, and expressing appreciation for the overwhelming support she received during the ordeal.
Shouldnt the airline be held accountable instead of just thanking Nigerians? Seems like a PR move to me. #JusticeForPassengers
I think Bolaji Ogunmolas gratitude is genuine, but shouldnt airlines prioritize passenger safety over profits? #JustSaying
Im glad Bolaji Ogunmola expressed gratitude, but isnt it concerning that such incidents happen frequently in the airline industry?
Wow, its great Bolaji Ogunmola thanked Nigerians, but did he really need to? Shouldnt that be expected? Just a thought!
