The award-winning actress made this revelation during an interview with CNN journalist Larry Madowo, where she spoke candidly about her emotional struggles and the pressures that come with being a public figure.

Akindele disclosed that when things become overwhelming, she sometimes locks herself in her room to cry and release her emotions. However, she said she eventually gathers the strength to pick herself up and face life’s challenges.

The filmmaker also discussed the pressure of living in the public eye, particularly the scrutiny surrounding her marriages and relationship breakups.

She admitted that there are moments when she questions her decisions and worries about how people might judge her choices.

“I cry. I lock myself in the room, cry, break down, hit the bed. But I just pick up myself and come back to life. Sometimes I tell myself, ah, you’ve made a mistake again. How are people going to judge you?

“Do you care about that? Why don’t you just brace up, face it, face the challenges, move on in life? I’ve noticed over the years that it’s not all about the work. You need to take care of yourself. You need to love yourself. You need to have time for your family, your loved ones, because as the work would go, the family would be there,” she said.

Akindele further emphasised the importance of self-care, self-love and making time for family, noting that professional success should not come at the expense of personal well-being and relationships.

Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has weighed in on the ongoing debate over polygamy, insisting that marrying multiple wives is not a sin.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The actor shared his opinion in a post on his Facebook page, where he argued that several great men mentioned in the Bible had multiple wives without attracting God’s condemnation.

Edochie maintained that God had no problem with such men and, in some instances, was even willing to give them more wives.

He further claimed that some men are destined to marry more than one woman but end up having only one wife because they do not fully understand themselves or are afraid of society’s judgement.

According to the actor, such men may eventually struggle in life because they fail to embrace what he believes is their destiny.

He wrote: “Even in the Bible, many great men there had many wives and God never had issues with them. He was even willing to give them more. Today, many men are destined to have many wives but because they don’t know who they are and scared of what society will say they end up having just one and life doesn’t seem to be working for them.”

Nigerian rapper Emeka Akumefule, popularly known as Blaqbonez, has said travelling to other countries has made him realise how far Nigeria lags behind in terms of development and living standards.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The musician made this observation during an interview on The Zeze Millz Show, where he described Nigeria as a challenging place to live despite its vibrant atmosphere and hardworking population.

Blaqbonez explained that his exposure to other countries had changed his perspective on Nigeria and highlighted areas where the country needs significant improvement.

Although he acknowledged the energy, resilience and determination associated with Nigerians, the rapper said he wished the country would develop further to provide a better quality of life for its citizens.

He said, “Nigeria is hectic, but it is still home. When you go to other countries, you will realise how far we are from where we should be. But the vibe and energy are still there. There is a hustle spirit that comes with being Nigerian. I really wish the country was better.

“I don’t want to spend the rest of my life living in Nigeria. I don’t think that there is any successful person who wants to live in Nigeria after retirement. Maybe there are some people. But the way I picture my retirement is living in a big ranch and raising some animals. That is not a thing that is in Nigeria.”
