Shaffy Bello reflects on her journey to fame

Nigerian actress Shaffy Bello expressed her deep love for acting, reflecting on her growth and career in the Nollywood industry.

The actress, while speaking during an appearance on the Morayo Brown Show, explained that she became an household name through acting. She further revealed that she does not feel the need to become a producer, noting that every individual has their strength and callings.

“I am an actor. Every actor does not have to be a producer. I face my lane. I do what God asks me to do. And he asked me to have an impact. He gave me a platform, and after I got that platform, it became so stressful. That once in a while I would remember the days I was on my knees asking to be a household name. Now I am. He then came back and said I have given you a platform, what are you going to do with it”, she said.

Shaffy also highlighted the need in recognising ones gift, stressing that longevity in filmmaking does not guarantee the same kind of influence, as each person has a different gift to offer.

“If God gave you the grace to be a producer, run with it. For right now, I will not say never, I am saying that is not what he is calling me to do. I tell you one thing today that when you guys hear Shaffy Bello, you will never forget how you felt in this room. That is the gift he gave me. Some people can produce film for 20 years and if they sat on this chair, they will not have the same effect. Because it is not their gift. There are many people out there that needs my voice that you do not have to show your boobs to look sexy. If you are going to do ashawo do it well. But do not stay there. Some do it to feed their family. If I sit and go do films (it is not about money)”, she added.
