In movies, I was that wicked mother everyone feared. I was the mother-in-law from hell. I was the wife with no pity, no smile, no peace. People saw me and ran. But that was just the role. That was the job. In real life, I am soft like bread. My heart is full of love.
We had nothing. No big lights. No luxury. Sometimes we shot in the rain. Sometimes there was no food. No AC. But we kept going. We gave our hearts, our time, our sweat. All for the love of storytelling.
We built Nollywood with our bare hands. With people like Sam Loco, Pete Edochie, Olu Jacobs—we planted the seeds. Strong roots. Deep messages. Stories that touched hearts.
Today, Nollywood shines bright. And I smile, knowing we made history. We gave our all so others can fly now.
