Popular Nollywood actress Omowunmi Dada has opened up about her recent leg surgery, sharing her deeply personal journey of enduring chronic pain, emotional resilience, and recovery.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram on Tuesday, the award-winning actress revealed that she had been silently battling severe leg pain for a long time, all while maintaining her professional commitments and public appearances.
“Sometimes, we carry our pain so quietly that the world celebrates us without realizing the weight we bear behind the scenes,” Dada wrote. “I had been dealing with leg pain for so long, yet I continued to show up, walk through sets, and smile through moments—but deep down, I was weathering a storm.”
