A Nigerian lady shared what she recently found out about her mother, who was once featured in a movie over two decades ago.

She shared a throwback video of her mum in a movie and stated that her mum played the role after welcoming her younger sister.

In a video by @mordsith on TikTok, the lady showed her mother in an old Nollywood movie.

She stated that after her mother acted in the movie, her dad’s father called a meeting and warned her mum never to act again if she wanted to keep being in the family.

Sadly, her mum never continued acting, and her dad’s father was now late.

Her words:

“Just finding out that my mum was once in a movie over two decades ago just after having my younger sister, and my dad’s father immediately called a meeting and warned her never to feature in a movie ever again if she wants to keep our last name. Guess what? He’s late now, and my mother never continued acting.”

In the comments, the lady added that her mother got married at 19 years.

"This is why I believe women should get married after 30yrs of age. A woman needs to have education, self awareness, confidence and wisdom before choosing a life partner. Marrying young with no self confidence killed alot of women’s dreams."

@Chukwuebuka Gideon said:

"Some people saying she left her dream. y'all think her dream was to keep acting? Her dream was to keep the last name and family and she did that."
