If you know them tag them. I can’t believe this shot about 17 years ago or thereabout. We gave it our all. Months in the forest, endless rehearsals, sprints and marathons, 100 meters senior girls race????, caves, valleys, rivers, forest and high hills. All done for the love of art. We all can look back today and be thankful for the journey and opportunities this movie afforded many of us. . Awards were won, nominations came in from home and abroad and all over Africa. It took me 6 months to recover from my sprained ankle filming, yes if you remember me limping in this movie it was for real and not acting. As they say, the show must go on. Skin rashes and conditions that took me months to heal and recover from. It was worth it all. . So next time when I hear a no do well refer to me as a failure because I took a sabbatical, I just giggle ???? and smile knowing that he or she is either a child , was probably in elementary school or couldn’t afford a videoclub membership of yesteryears. . If getting married and taking a leave of absence to raise a family and pursue higher education and take other career paths makes me a failure in Nollywood after almost 100 movies, numerous awards, modeling career, TV commercials, brand ambassadors for so many products “ So Clean “ amongst others , please sign me up. I will consider that insult as a badge of honor. I will applaud myself then as the biggest and best loser of all time ????. . Let me reintroduce myself again to the new comers on my page and space.
