Actress Toyin Alausa Actress Toyin Alausa

Nollywood actress, Toyin Alausa, emotionally broke down, shedding tears as she opened up about her financial struggles.

In a heartfelt post on her Instagram page, the role interpreter expressed how a viral video of a Hollywood actress crying over financial difficulties deeply resonated with her.

Toyin shared a recent experience when she felt emotionally overwhelmed on her way home from work.

She that despite being drained and exhausted from a series of jobs, she found her account balance not adding up.

Questioning where the figures went throughout the year, she couldn’t help but weep for herself.

She stated that most of the Nollywood stars don’t have extra support other than what they earn and yet they still extend love to family and friends.

Alausa added that it’s unreasonable for anyone to assume that screen life is the same as Real life and expect someone like her to live the facade some people live.

Still with a heart full of thanks, she said she is grateful for the numerous blessings money can’t buy and she looks forward to when her hard work will match her reward.

She said: “First of this isn’t a pity post or s.m stunt, I didn’t think I’d ever post this or knew I’d get the best and most suitable voiceover for the mood.

Just going through the streets of IG now and I found the post on the @realsusanpeters page where a Whole Taraji P. Henson broke down… I mean this woman we all know is a dynamic world-class Actor and yet her math ain’t mathing, aarrghhh !!!

“So I remembered how I got so emotional and overwhelmed a few days ago on my way back from work, I was drained and exhausted from a series of jobs, and I’ve barely had time for anything than work and yet when I checked account balance math wasn’t mathing at all … I wept for myself … Jan – Dec where did all the figures go?? How ??

“Some of us don’t have any extra support from anywhere other than what we earn from our sweat which at times shouldn’t be heard of ( contrary to what those outside the industry think), and from that little we earn we still extend love to those in need around us, take care of ourselves, family ( for some who are breadwinners), mobility to and fro etc.

“It’ll be unreasonable for anyone to assume that screen life is the same as Real life and expect someone like me to live the facade some people live …

“While I’m super Thankful and Grateful for the numerous blessings money can’t buy bestowed on me I earnestly look forward to when every hard work will come with a matching reward, and Math go begin Math solidly.

“Special Shout out to all the hardworking women out there, diligently and consistently striving to achieve success, don’t be discouraged, tough times don’t last tough people do.

WE WILL SURELY SUCCEED.”
