The actress who is one of the most celebrated celebrity, took to her social media to share some personal experience which she hopes will touch a live somehow.

Omotola recalled how things were tough for her especially when she lost her father and had to struggle to get a good life which eventually happened but at a cost as she was banned or about two years but still pulled through.
