Nollywood actress Opeyemi Aiyeola has shared a thought provoking message with Nigerians.

The movie star, who is known for her performances in Yoruba movies, took to her Instagram story to tell netizens to never allow the family they come from to harm the family they come from. In other words, don’t let the harm your family does to you affect your children.

“Never let the family you come from damage the family you came from.”

Her statement was applauded by internet users who agreed with her.
