She said;

"I was in my first year when I started acting and to be honest this might be the first time I am actually admitting it, I thought acting was going to be a while in university thing, just to pass time, have some extra change to what daddy was giving me, but here we are.

"I have always wanted to do something medically inclined, so even when I started acting and it was going well, it wasn't a thing of I would leave college of medicine for acting, it was a thing of let me see how I can combine both. I made my debut probably in 2014, I was in my first year."

She added; "My parents were very supportive then but my dad's only concern was if you say you want to do both, I won't stop you but you just have to prove to me that one won't suffer for the other and the one he was talking about is obviously school.

So it was really hard but I had a lot of help, my roommate Folakemi was my go-to guy to give me updates on what I missed when I was out there acting and people were in class. you know she would write her note and I would photocopy them and read them while I am on set filming.

To be honest, it was harder than it looked, I think because I am always smiling and I am always cheerful people forget that or they fail to see."

Sahhara, a Popular transgender woman, has written a long post on social media counseling other transgender women on changing their bodies while sharing her personal experience.

The surgery was to rectify some pain and errors she made during her journey into womanhood.

They go through a lot to be their actual selves, according to her, and it's a shame that people minimize their identities without understanding what it requires to be who they are.


Sahhara shared images of herself on her hospital bed, wishing that they never had to go through what they have, and advising her trans sisters not to make the same mistakes she did because she wanted to fit in.

In her words;

I spent the night in the hospital with the drains still attached, the surgery is to correct some pains and mistakes I made during my journey into womanhood.

We go through hell to be our true selves, it's a shame that some people trivialize our identity without knowing what it takes to be us, I hope they never go through what I have been through.

To all my trans sisters, I see a lot of you making the same mistakes I made in order to fit into the society.
Please, be patient, don't rush into doing things you body will produce naturally. Becoming the woman you truly are takes years, it is a gradual marathon steps, not a sprint.

My Grandma always said 'Those who run blindly, always falls'. So be clever and WAIT! Take guidance from sisters who came before you, unfortunately, unlike you, I had none, but you have me. I'll gladly be your Guinea pig, so you don't have to destroy your life out of haste and desperation.

I'm staying in the hospital until I am deemed strong enough to go home. Thank you all so much for your lovely messages, I appreciate your kind thoughts and care… Love you all so much"

Salle became popular through a post by blogger Tunde Ednut on September 20, 2021, in which she was seen singing with a tray on her way back from her mother's store on the street of Owerri.

Yomi Fabiyi Reveals The Biggest Way To Get Bad Name As He Visits Baba Suwe’s Grave

Posted: 12 Jan 2022 10:30 PM PST

Nigerian actor Yomi Fabiyi has taken to his social media space to disclose the biggest way he thinks one can have a bad name after paying respect to his late boss, Baba Suwe.

The controversial actor said helping an ingrate is the biggest way to get a bad name in his Instagram post on Tuesday evening, January 11, 2022.

Fabiyi stated that ingrates blackmail, play dirty cards and deny everything done for them. He added that their entitlement and audacity are the worst things they do.


Buttressing his point, he wrote; "If God design you to help and lift 10 people in your lifetime and Satan hijacks, manipulate or re-directs 8 ingrates your path, it is the biggest tragedy, confirm multiple jeopardy. If you are not careful, what is suppose to be your legacy will be what may destroy you."

The actor advised that before helping, one should pray very well. "When trying to help, be explicit and pray well about it hence you don't look like the person with the problem. Many users turn up as weak and needy. Afobaje l'ota oba. Sho ore se."

"Do your best and leave the rest as quickly as possible. Social Media aides INGRATES more if the ingrate can play the social media tactics more. Be wise and careful."

Fabiyi shared these hours after he visited the grave of the late legendary actor Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe.

He shared; "Upon return to Nigeria, I made it a point of call to PAY VISIT and OFFER PRAYERS as part of my last respect at the gravesite of the boss and pathfinder Late Kìng Babatunde Ayinla Nurudeen Omidina a.k.a Baba Suwe who passed away recently."

"May your soul continue to rest in peace Pressy. An ERA is gone. You will never be forgotten. I will sincerely and personally miss you sir. Odigba kan naa. RIP"
