Veteran Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has opened up about undergoing emergency surgery late last year, revealing that the procedure affected one of her favorite physical features—her tummy.
In a heartfelt Valentine’s Day message shared on social media, Omotola encouraged self-love and confidence, despite life’s imperfections. She recounted a moment during a photoshoot when she instinctively grabbed her top and hesitated, hearing a small voice say, “There’s nothing to show anymore.”
However, the award-winning actress quickly dismissed the thought, affirming that nothing could shake her confidence. “I smiled and danced. I’m alive … it’s just scars,” she wrote.
Omotola reminded fans that scars—whether physical or emotional—should never define one’s worth. She urged everyone to embrace their journey, celebrate their resilience, and recognize their beauty.
“What if I’m not perfect? Would you still love me?” she asked, leaving her followers with a powerful message of self-acceptance and confidence.
