By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has shared an empowering message with young women, encouraging them to embrace their unique paths and focus on personal growth.

In an Instagram story, the mother of four revealed that a post about a young girl feeling lost inspired her to reach out with words of support.

Omotola reminded ladies that everyone’s journey unfolds at different times and that societal, familial, and cultural expectations might not always align with what’s best for them.

She emphasized that being different is not a flaw but a sign of uniqueness. “You are special,” she affirmed, urging young women to embrace their individuality instead of viewing it as a negative trait.

Omotola also advised ladies to take a step back from social media and focus on personal development. “Start working on yourself. Find things that keep you moving, and do them! Turn off social media—even I do it very often. Surround yourself with things that give you hope and joy,” she said.

In addition, she encouraged a personal relationship with Jesus as a source of peace and fulfillment. “If you don’t know him, my personal advice is to seek a personal relationship with Jesus. Try that. I promise you’ll find joy in your journey.”

She concluded by reassuring young women that their best is yet to come. “It might not feel like that now. But key in, soon you’ll smile. You’ll see,” she added.
