Renowned Nollywood actress Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has opened up about self-love and resilience, revealing the story behind the scar on her tummy from an emergency surgery in 2024.

Taking to Instagram, Omosexy shared a heartfelt message alongside a Valentine’s Day photoshoot video, where she momentarily lifted her top, revealing the scar before gracefully adjusting her outfit.

She admitted experiencing a fleeting moment of insecurity, as her tummy was once one of her favorite features. However, she quickly dismissed self-doubt, choosing instead to embrace her journey with gratitude.

Her Powerful Message on Self-Acceptance

Encouraging fans to celebrate their scars—both physical and emotional—Omotola wrote:

“Loving yourself first is the greatest Val gift. Late last year, I had an emergency surgery… One of the best parts of my body was my tummy… Oh well, not so perfect now…”

“During this shoot, I forgot and grabbed my top during my pose, and I heard a little voice say… there’s nothing to show anymore…”

“Not me! That thing that’ll shake my confidence has not been created. I smiled and danced. I’m alive… it’s just scars.”

She urged her followers to embrace their imperfections, reminding them that true beauty lies in survival and self-love.

“Some people’s scars are physical, and some are emotional… but today, smile, dance, and be proud, beautiful. You’re still here, and you look darn good too! What if I’m not perfect? Would you still love me?”

Omotola’s empowering message has been met with an outpouring of love from fans, who admire her confidence, strength, and grace.
