Nollywood actress Bolaji Ogunmola has expressed 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, the actress thanked those who reached out through 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,” Ogunmola said.

She also acknowledged the intervention of a man she identified as Mr Wale, as well as officials of the Ekiti State Government.

“Thank you so much, Mr Wale. I’m saying thank you again. Thank you so much, Ekiti State Government, the ADC, the driver and the security. I am so deeply grateful,” she added.

The actress 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.

“They said they duly communicated, but how do you book tickets and boarding passes for people and then say you’re not flying again?” she asked.

She also claimed that airline officials allegedly 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,” Ogunmola said she does not enjoy unnecessary stress, adding that the attention generated by the incident was overwhelming.

The had earlier reported that the actress and filmmaker called out the airline after being stranded at the airport in Ekiti State for over 24 hours due to multiple flight cancellations and rescheduling.

She concluded by thanking Nigerians once again, wishing them a happy new year and expressing appreciation for the overwhelming support she received.
