Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya has expressed heartfelt gratitude to her parents for the upbringing they gave her.

The actress, in a recent Instagram post, revealed that their guidance and values are the reason she remains unbothered by competition in the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on her journey, Debbie noted that her growth has been entirely self-built, emphasizing that she started from scratch and worked her way to where she is today. 

“My Parents Walked, So I Could Run

I Am Running, So My Children Can Fly!

In The Past And In Fact Present.

So Many Things have happened In My Daily Life That I Have Managed Well

All Thanks To My Father And Mother

They Taught, Instilled And Gave Me So Many Things That Money Can’t Buy!

Things That Would Forever Make Me Wealthy

Few Out Of Those Things Are Contentment, Sincerity, Holding On To God, Hardwork, Staying Focus On Goals And a Lot More!

I Look At Myself Today And How Far I Have Grown…

Trust Me, Everything Started From The Scratch!!!

I Built Everything To This Point, Brick By Brick!

There Were Times I Saw A Part Of The Building Trying To Collapse, But What Do They Say About A Good Foundation?

I Stand Tall Always.

My Parents Built Me To This Point Where I Feel Unshaken,

I Just Stay focused!

I Move Like I Am Perfect And Not Triggered About Competition Because I Was Taught The Act Of Contentment From An Early Stage!

I Have Lived With It, I Have Mastered It!

I Tell You With Fact That Contentment Is A Gift

If You Have It, You Are Blessed And Wealthier Than A Rich Man

I Pray And Hope That Someday, My Children Will Brag About How I trained them and positively impacted their Lives

I Pray That I Will Make Them Proud And Also Be Proud Of Them!

I Pray That My Home Will Forever Be A Safe Place For Us!

I Pray That I Will Continue To Be The Real Me That I Am, Because I Love How Truthful I Love To Be With Myself”.
