In a post shared on Instagram, the actress said something triggered a thought about her mother today, and she started crying and wished she had stayed to reap and enjoy the fruit of her labour.
The actress recalled how her mother worked hard to get everything they needed and usually buys them used clothes (Okrika).
Omoni said she wanted to give her everything, build a beautiful mansion for her because she deserves it, but then she’s no more.
According to the mother of three, her mother instilled in her the can-do spirit and wanted her to achieve so much. She added she would forever make her mom proud.
She wrote: 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!
