Star actress, Omoni Oboli says she was moved to tears today after an incident brought back memories of her late mother.
She recalled how her mother “hustled” really hard to ensure her children had clean used clothes popularly called okrika on their backs.

“I’m always in my bag. If you know me, you know that but I also take time to get in my feelings…guess what, it propels me!
“On my walk this morning during personal development, Something triggered a thought about my mom and I started to cry. I wanted so bad to give her everything! I wish she had stayed. Poverty is a bastard! I wanted to give her nice new clothes that no one had worn before! My mom used to buy us used clothes (okrika) I wanted to build her the most beautiful mansion! She deserved it! She was a queen and more
“This woman hustled! She did everything she could to give us everything! She instilled the can do spirit in me! I want to give her the world…alas I can’t so I cried but I cleaned my eyes and resolved once again that I will be ALL she ever wanted me to be and more! All the dreams she had for herself and for me, I will achieve ALL and more! Sister Lizzy…I hope that I am making you proud but guess what? I have only just began! Love you forever.”
