Nigerian actress Adesua Etomi-Wellington recently electrified her followers with a fervent call to action, urging them to pursue their passions with unwavering determination.
On December 18, 2024, she took to her Instagram story to share a message that resonated deeply with her audience.
In her post, Adesua challenged her followers to remain resolute in the face of adversity:
“If there is something you are truly passionate about: a dream, a business concept, or anything that holds significant value to you… If you find yourself navigating a challenging period, I hope the people you speak to tell you that they’ll slap you if you dare give up. I hope they don’t give you permission to quit. I hope they ignite a fire in your heart and tell you to GET UP AND GET GOING.”
This impassioned plea struck a chord with many, highlighting the critical role of a supportive community. One Instagram user reflected, “In a nutshell, May God bless you with your own people… Don’t mistake your family and friends for your own people ooo, they don’t necessarily have to be ‘that people’ we are talking about.” Another noted, “Being surrounded by good people and being a good person is a blessing.”
Adesua is no stranger to sharing motivational messages. In 2018, she opened up about her personal struggles, encouraging others to remain hopeful and keep faith at the center of their lives. She recounted, “I remember a time in my life when it seemed like NOTHING was going right… I started to focus on what I did have and became more thankful.”
Her recent message continues this trend, emphasizing resilience and the value of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. As one fan aptly put it, “Just have good people around you cos if you have the jealous ones around you they will discourage you.”
Adesua’s influence extends beyond social media. She has been involved in various initiatives aimed at uplifting others. For instance, she has shown support for educational programs that enroll out-of-school children, demonstrating her commitment to societal gains.
Adesua Etomi-Wellington’s dynamic and heartfelt messages continue to inspire many, reinforcing the importance of perseverance, faith, and a strong support system in the pursuit of one’s dreams.
