Actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has reaffirmed her decision to walk away from acting, stating that she would make the same choice again if given the opportunity.
The 47-year-old took to Instagram to share a video of herself vibing to music in her car, accompanied by a powerful caption: “Mood every time I’m called a failed actress and I see the massive results of my personal sacrifices.” Her post reflects both her resilience and pride in the life she’s built beyond the screen.
In the caption, she wrote: “Walahi if given the opportunity again I will choose to abandon my acting career over n over again. It is my journey, experience, struggles and the rewards sweet me die.”
Her post garnered supportive messages from fans and fellow celebrities, who praised her contributions to Nollywood and commended her for prioritising personal fulfillment over fame.
This declaration comes shortly after a public disagreement with fellow actress Eniola Badmus.
The dispute began when Badmus commented on one of Opeyemi’s Instagram videos, asking, “Ope, where is your front hair?”
Opeyemi perceived the remark as body shaming and expressed her disappointment, highlighting Eniola’s own past experiences with online ridicule.
Although Eniola apologised, Opeyemi described the apology as insincere and added that they were not close enough for such jokes. She later deleted her initial video but maintained her stance on the issue.
