Nollywood actress Omobolarinde Akinyanju, popularly known as Ashabi, has shared a thought-provoking message with the public.
Posting on her Instagram page, Ashabi reflected on the challenges that often accompany success. She stated that achieving progress naturally invites jealousy, while success tends to attract enemies. According to her, if a person isn’t facing any form of hate, it likely means they aren’t truly making strides in life.
She wrote:
“Success attracts enemies.
Progress invites jealousy.
If nobody hates you, you are not making it in life.”
Ashabi, who is also a proud mother of two, made the post while announcing that she is currently filming a new project titled Dark Room, produced by Mariam Oguntona. She also gave a shoutout to her skincare brand partner, 1st Lady Skincare.
In other news, Afrobeats superstar Davido has reflected on the massive love he received from fans and the music industry during his time away from the spotlight.
In a recent interview, Davido shared that he became fully aware of his influence when he noticed how quiet the industry became while he was inactive and without any new music releases.
According to him, not only loyal fans but even his critics missed his presence and pleaded for his return.
In his words:
“I knew that people loved me because when I was not active, the whole industry shut down. I was like, ‘Damn, they do love me.’ It’s so quiet out here. David, come back. Even the fans that hate me were like, ‘Please come back, we need to diss you.’”
Davido’s reflection has stirred admiration online, with many applauding his lasting impact and influence on the Nigerian music scene.
