Nollywood star actress, Sola Sobowale has revealed what made her leave the comfort and stardom in Nigeria to start doing menial jobs at a point in her life in the United Kingdom.
The veteran actress narrated that the need to be there for her children who were studying in the UK at that time mad her abandoned the fame, money and comfort of Nigeria to give them motherly care.
Speaking during an episode of #WithChude, Sobowale disclosed that in the early 2000s when she decided to leave the country, she was already making as much as N5 million within months from acting.
But the need to be there for her children made her sacrifice the luxury lifestyle and take up menial jobs such as cleaning, cooking, and mopping office floors to make ends meet in the UK where she earned 7.5 pounds per hour.
She added that now that they are done and working, the children always appreciate her sacrifice for them while she is back to acting.
According to her, “I went back to England and noticed the kids lack motherly touch. Then I moved to England and forget stardom.”
“Now, all of them are working and now they appreciate me for my sacrifice and ask me to go back to what I know how to do best so that’s why I’m back in Nigeria.
The actress shared the good news on her Instagram page and congratulatory messages have been pouring in for her.
According to Sola, she would be working with a record-breaking director and executive producer on an upcoming project.
The actress added that she would be playing a dynamic role in the project and her fans and followers should anticipate it.
