Veteran Nollywood Actress, Foluke Daramola, who just celebrated her 40th year birthday has opened up about living in the country for 40 years.

According to her, one of her greatest challenges living in Nigeria is keeping her sanity intact.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, the actress noted that keeping one’s sanity in this country is a kind of herculean task and only the strong can stay intact.


Daramola said;

The turbulent thing I have faced especially in a place like Nigeria is that we are practically under pressure as celebrities. People keep demanding things from us and they don’t care how we meet their demands. They put a lot of pressure on me. Being psychologically and emotionally stable in Nigeria for over 40 years has not been an easy task.

People see the glamour on the television screen and believe that is how we live in reality. Being psychologically stable despite all odds like living up to expectation, the pressure of living the way you want to and also even differentiating reality from showbiz has not been easy. Those are my turbulent times. A good thing about being a celebrity, however, is that when you are known, you are celebrated and it opens doors for you. Being known gives you a voice when others are struggling to get a voice

The Actress also gave insights on her failed marriage, revealing that it was the worse phase of her life.
