These were her words:

"Today 20years ago I made my debut in a Nollywood film (visa to hell) 

What a journey its been...worked my way from playing lead in my first 2films to waka pass roles ,supporting roles, to no role, moving to writing the roles I wanted as a script writer, back to leading roles with (games men play which I co wrote with @ememisong ) to eventually investing back into this industry that changed my life through @uchejombostudios (one of the actors with the highest number of self funded films)

I want to say a big thank you... everyone who gave me a chance, worked with me , partnered with me on projects and most importantly YOU. ...My true ujlovers ❤ THANK YOU.

With over 200 films as an actor, over 30films as a screenwriter, over 30 films as an executive producer , lately 6films as a director and STILL going!!! I made it this far because of you and we only just began 😁
