Nollywood actress Omobolarinde Akinyanju, better known as Ashabi, has studied the internet with photos of herself dressed like a mad woman ahead of her birthday.
According to her, the photos reflect what life showed her in her late 20s and how life wanted her to look, but God said no. The upcoming actress expressed gratitude to her Maker for strength and grace, as it could have been worse.
Ashabi also appreciated her family for not leaving her through thick and thin, and for trying not to let her fall into depression.
The Yoruba actress described the internet as a platform where people judge her according to their own perspective, forgetting that even if they wear the same shoe size, it will fit differently.
Speaking about her career, Ashabi said she worked hard for years behind the camera, building her name as a filmmaker and script supervisor. Sleepless nights, brainstorming, hard work, and consistency were how she first gained recognition.
The movie star also spoke about her love life, describing Portable as a narcissist. She noted how one can’t predict his next move, especially when he is the jealous type and has anger issues. She said she wakes up every day of her life thinking of how best she can manage him.
“Hmmmm, this is an example of what life shows me in my late 20s, and how life wants me to look, but thank GOD for the strength and grace because it could be worse than this, but GOD didn’t leave me a bit.
Thanks to my families who didn’t leave me through thick & thin, trying not to let me be depressed and thank GOD I’ve never be and I will never be by GOD grace.
Do people know not wanting to think about some particular things/situation is worse than thinking,and crying it out ? I’m telling you for free that it is.
Sometimes you just have to cry it out & let go.
Internet: smiles, a platform where people judge others according to their own perspective, forgetting that even if we wear the same shoe size, it will fit differently. Blame is easy, understanding is wiser.
My carrier: I worked so hard for years behind d camera building my name as a filmmaker and a script supervisor, sleepless nights, brain storming, hardwork and consistency was how goggle recognized my name at first,” Ashabi simple” life happened, sudden change that made me switch to a full time actor, it wasn’t easy at all, I shot many movies with my hard earned money which Didn’t yield well.
I started calculating loss than gain, and this drained me financially, mentally & physically.
Home: dating a narcissist is the worst thing that could happen to someone; you can’t predict their next move, especially when he’s a jealous type and has an anger issue. I wake up every day of my life thinking of how best to manage this soul, how can u be a liar & manipulator.
Love is a beautiful thing, but loving someone who sees you as a competitor or who doesn’t want your growth, who supports you with their mouth but not their heart, is the opposite. Now, it’s complicated how you think on a daily basis about what to do next, like leaving. Will there be a breakthrough? Stay ? Can it ever get better? What if it get worsen? It’s complicated again when children are involve and you’re open to different people advice.
GOD, this new age I’m about to start, make it a new phrase, help me, see through my heart and heal me, I’m going 2ru alot physically, spiritually, mentally, financially & psychologically come through for me oh lord”.
In an Instagram post, Ashabi said she had zero regrets and a million lessons to learn. She further said she was leaving it all to God because she was assured that whatever would be, would be.
In another post, the mother of two had addressed critics, telling them to leave singe, Portable. She told them to allow her to breathe and reduce their advice, and further told them to let her be and allow her to think for herself.
