01:08For my daughter and my kendra
01:08We have one heard of me
01:14Save my two hands
01:26this is a hospital not a prison imagine turning down deals worth billions just to protect your
01:33value that's exactly what nollywood legend omotola gelade ekende says she has done during her career
01:37speaking during an interview the award-winning actress revealed that she could easily have
01:43become a billionaire if she had agreed to certain lucrative offers that came her way
01:48but there was one problem those opportunities required her to compromise her personal beliefs
01:53according to omotola there were several moments when she could have taken the money
01:58and nobody would have known yet each time she chose to walk away in her words if i wanted to
02:06be a billionaire i would have been it easily but i said no and walked away she explained that
02:13although the financial rewards were tempting staying true to her principles mattered more
02:17and interestingly some of the people who made those offers are still watching her career today
02:22for omotola success isn't just about wealth she says the real reward is living with integrity
02:29and staying true to who she is in her words she is fulfilled beyond financial measure
02:34in an industry where fame and money often test people's values omotola's story is a reminder
02:40that sometimes walking away is the real power move
02:55so you won't die oh so you want to die
