Adunni Ade just shared an inspirational post on her Instagram page which highlights the need to avoid giving up easily.
The actress had moved back fully to Nigeria in 2013. However, she need an opportunity to show her talent and got one when her cousin/colleague, Moyo Lawal told her that comedian, Bovi was looking for a “white lady” for a skit.
We will stop here so you read for yourself.
“Be inspired…
I meant to post this a while back@but got caught up with work.
I moved fully here to the country 2013 to start afresh and go for my dreams and make it reality. At this point I was known as a skit maker. My cousin @moyolawalofficial had sent me a message on bb of her friend/colleague looking for a “white lady” for a skit. 100% Oyinbo was what @officialbovi needed. No! I’m not necessarily “white” but could fit the look. I with fate, passion and dedication sent him an email in regards to his request. Was I nervous? Sure! The fear of the unknown but if I didn’t send the email how would I have known if he’ll consider to go with me?
“I’m posting this to share with y’all letting you know, never give up easily! A lot ask me why didn’t you stay in America to pursue your dreams? My simple answer is, I can make it anywhere for as long as I’ve got life! I have been blessed to be part of different lineage. I am blessed to know the true sense of being an American and a Nigerian. God made no mistake in my creation!
“Do not be intimidated by the society! Push! Work hard! Never relent or give and the sky is the starting point.
“BOVI offered me the role, made a 2nd skit off of it, I got to watch him perform at the show in UK and YES! He paid me for both jobs.”
