Nollywood star, Toyin Abraham, has revealed that she once
wanted to end her acting career when she relocated to the United States years
ago.
The actress took to her Instagram page on Thursday to
reflect on those “very dark times” in her life, where she was almost giving up
her fame because she was tired.
She wrote, “A few years ago, during very dark times in my
life, I packed up my bags and left for USA. On getting to the US, I made up my
mind that I was done with fame and everything that comes with it. I was ready
to quit and be done with my career.”
The motive of her post was to celebrate one Wale Olaleye,
who helped her to embrace her career and go back to acting during those times
of her life.
Revealing how she met Olaleye, she said, “One day, I got a
call from a friend, Dotun, who asked me if I was coming back to Nigeria. I told
him I wasn’t and that I was done.
“He then told me someone was going to call me. Shortly
after, I received a call from Wale Olaleye. He asked me what happened and I
explained everything to him. I told him I was tired.
“Mr Wale said, ‘Toyin, you have a beautiful career, you have
the most adorable career. You can’t just abandon your career’.
“He went on to tell me not to worry and that he was going to
support me and stand by me. He insisted I return to Nigeria. When I returned,
Wale got me a PR Team and a lawyer without collecting a dime from me. He footed
all my bills.
“And because of this,
I’m thriving in my career and standing on my feet. Since then, he’s never
wavered in his support.
“Just last year when someone tried to talk down on my movie
The Ghost and the Tout Too, Wale went to watch it, told me it was a beautiful
movie.
“He also told me where and what to work on for my next movie
and I promised him to fix things.”
Appreciating him, she added, “I just want to say thank you
to you so much and God bless you. I’ll never forget our journey.”
